I was driving quite fast. Then a big semi trailer decided to pull out of a driveway about 100 meters down the road. Going 2 miles an hour. Traffic came to a screeching halt.
“Oh, why did you have to that, you jerk.” I said.
Behind me Miss Three says, “Mummy, why did you talk like that?”
“Well, he was very rude and what he did was very dangerous. We could have gotten hurt.”
“Mummy, you’re being rude to him. And when brothers and sisters are rude to each other, they get time out. You shouldn’t call him names.”
So, I apologized. “You know Samantha, you’re right. Just because he was rude to me doesn’t mean I can be rude back. I can still be nice and polite, and not call him names. I’m very sorry for being rude to him.”
The she said, “Okay, you were a good girl and said sorry, so now you don’t need a time out.”
I can’t get away with anything now that I’ve got kids in the house!
