Touche
The crime scene:Â war broke out over a can of sprite to be divided into thirds. Number One refused to let Number Two do the division, and shook the sprite into an explosive frenzy in an attempt to make it too hard for her. Must screaming, wrestling, and otherwise gnashing of teeth.
The mandate from The Father:Â go to your room and look at the book of Proverbs. Find three verses that address what happened and what should be done to avoid it.
The result:
Proverbs 15:13 Â A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 15:15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a contintual feast. Says Number One, “You know, because I lost out on the sprite….”
It’s hard to keep a straight face while parenting sometimes. He did go back to his room and find three other verses that addressed how the fight could have been avoided in the first place
