Mommy: "Ellery, can you tell me what happened and why you are in time out?"
Ellery: "Because I hit Walt with that thing from the kitchen (tongs) because he pulled my hair!"
Mommy: "Well Ellery, just because Walt did something to hurt you does not mean it's okay to hurt him back. The bible tells us that we need to show love to those who hurt us."
Ellery: "Well Mommy, that doesn't make sense!"
Mommy: (laughing) "Yes Ellery, I know. But sometimes the Lord asks us to do things that don't make sense and we just have to obey him. So next time Brother does something to hurt you, please tell me and let me handle it instead of you returning hurt for hurt."
