Driving home from soccer the other day we hear Braden whisper to Jackson, "don't tell on me". Immediately Mike and I look at each other and wonder whats going on in the back seat. Jackson all the sudden blurts out, "Mommy, Braden's eating candy!". Braden then yells, "I said don't tell on me, Jackson!"
Now this is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black! Braden is the KING of tattling on Jackson. Said in whiny drawn out voice, "Mommy, Jackson said NOOOOOOOO"..."Daddy, Jackson hit me"...and so on and so forth. We are always trying to explain that he doesn't have to tell on Jackson all the time and to work it out. Mike of course has nicknamed him "Timmy Tattle Tale." So with this little incident of Braden asking Jackson not to tell and Jackson fully capitalizing on the opportunity, Mike decides to explain to Braden that it is no fun to be told on and that he should remember how he felt and maybe he won't do it all the time to Jackson now. And with that, Jackson blurts out, "Yeah, Timmy Tattle Tale!!!"
Unbelievable!!! Lesson learned? Doubt it!
To see it through their eyes...
