Over the weekend, the boys were throwing a ball in the house and broke something of Angie’s that was about $80. She was upset, and was trying to figure out how to discipline Caleb. (I’m not sure why she wasn’t upset with Dillon, but she wasn’t.) Anyway, she stewed over it all weekend, and by Sunday evening had gotten herself worked up into being upset at Courtney, too, for not sweeping the floors! So she decided that she would have Caleb and Courtney get on their hands and knees and scrub all the wood floors.
Although Courtney usually grumbles a bit over such things, she kept her mouth shut and just started working. Caleb, knowing that it’s better to just get it done than argue about it, started working as well. I think it got under Angie’s skin a little that they didn’t really seem to mind doing it.
All of a sudden, Dillon grabs a rag and starts helping Caleb. And feeling left out, Megan asked if she could scrub the floors, too! Of course Caleb thinks this is all hilarious, especially since he and Courtney had divided up the floor, and Megan and Dillon were working on his part. Courtney on the other hand, is telling Dillon and Megan that this is her and Caleb’s punishment, and that they CAN’T help!
Me? I’m just sitting quietly in my chair, listening to the whole thing, not knowing if I should be helping, splitting them up, giving them more to do . . . or drawing Angie a hot bath to just relax in.
