I'm sorry, but sometimes violence is funny.
It all went down in the kitchen.
I was doing something. I think I was cooking. Two of my children were also in the kitchen. They were squabbling. We'll call them Child A, and Child B, to protect the identity of the not-so-innocent.
So Child A and Child B were squabbling. I'm not really sure what it was about. Like I said, I was cooking, and the radio was on, and I was trying to pay attention to the recipe, and the squabble started out as merely a sort of low-grade conflict, one which I like to imagine they can resolve on their own. Background noise.
And then the voices were raised. "No! No! No! Noooo!" Child A shouted, and Child B shouted back, and I turned my head just in time to catch a glimpse of what appeared to be Child A giving Child B a hard push in the chest.
"No!" I said, adding my voice to the chaos. "No, no, you may NOT push your sister."
And Child A turned around to face me--teary but defiant, eyebrows knitted together, fist tightly clenched.
"No, mom!" she said. "I didn't push my sister. I PUNCHED my sister!"
...
...
...well, at least she's honest.

Glad I was not there, cause I am laughing, and that is one of the times when you have to keep a straight face. :) I love your girls, they are great!
HAHAHAHA That is hilarious! I agree with Jeni, that would have been a hard one to keep a straight face!
HAHA! Things like that totally make me want to say, "Well, okay then."
I can just picture Lucy punching her sister. Were you able to keep a straight face?
