Nellie brought home her first quarter report card today. One highlight: the teacher commented that "Nellie radiates the gentleness of Christ." (It's a Christian school.) I was looking through all the "grades" with her in the car, and I read that part out loud. Only we kept getting interrupted, because DJ was loudly calling "bye-bye" to Nellie's friend, Avery, who was already in her house. Nellie responded by turning around and repeatedly shouting, "STOP IT DJ! I DON'T LIKE THAT!"
I tried explaining to her why the situation was ironic, but she just said, "well that's at school, this is at home."
I've said it before and I'll say it again--it's so much harder to love the ones you love, isn't it? If you know what I mean.
