Revenge....

It's been a quite relaxing week thus far. YAHOO!!  Weeks like that are far and few between it seems. One squabble that's worth mentioning. The boy upset the girl. He ate some of her candy. Actually ALL of her candy without asking. Not just any candy but the BAG of gummy jolly ranchers that she had chosen at the store. Plus he ate the butterfingers that he had chosen.   The plotting began. Emily carried around a notebook for 2 days.  She was writing down ways to 'Get Even' with Titus. Two pages worth!!!  Some examples: put pepper in his drink, get a glass of water and throw on him while sleeping, put makeup on him while sleeping, STOP the TV during his show,-that one i didn't want to witness.  And YES she did carry out a couple of her schems. Titus had apologized but she knew a sincere apology opposed to one that was just said to pacify. Girls do KNOW the difference. Titus might as well learn that early in life.  After i knew about this dilema i spoke to her alone about revenge and how bad it is. How God expects us to come to him and not to take matters into our own hands.  Then i spoke to Titus about sincere apologies, taking things that aren't ours even if it's his sisters candy. It was a small event but one that held a life lesson. Billy and i had shared some laughter once it was over and the kids were asleep. My how they are growing!
