That Could Have Gone Better

Aidan was driving Kate crazy tonight and eventually worked his situation to the point where I get to step in. I picked him up and carried him into his bedroom for a spanking. When I got into his room I realized I did not have a place to sit down and carry out my parental duty. I decided to sit on Davis' bed - the lower half of the bunk bed he and Aidan share. As I sat down Aidan was facing over my shoulder and I smacked his forehead into his own bed. I could not bring myself to deliver on the threatened spanking after that.

When he calmed down, I apologized and we talked about his behavior. I got around to saying something about him going to school now and he has to be a big boy all the time. To this he replied, "But Daddy, I'm not five yet!"

A couple thoughts from Aidan this past Sunday at church...

After I pointed out the pastor to him, "That's the guy who tells us truth things."

When the organ started playing the first hymn, "Daddy, it sounds like a scary movie."
