Disciplinary Chuckle (Once I Was Alone Again)

Rachel got in major trouble today for scratching a quarter on the arm of an antique chair "to see if it would write."

As the smoke began to clear and the tears turned to heaving sniffles, I told her, "I can't remember ever doing anything like that when I was seven! Of course, it was a long time ago!"

(Opportunity for teaching moment.)

"How many years ago was that, Rachel?"

Rachel: "I can't count that high!"
