TwinZebra - > Single mothering -> J. to the rescue
J. to the rescue

K., at 6, is not allowed to touch electric outlets, so when I caught her plugging and unplugging an electric fan because she enjoyed watchnig the fan blades spin and stop, spin and stop, I scolded and punished her.

As she is wont to do, she flung herself on her bed dramatically and shouted, "You're mean!" before commencing her signature sulk.

I was in my bedroom when J., 3, sauntered over to his wounded sister on the bed and said, "Is Mommy mean?"

"Yes!" K cried.

J. then headed over to my doorway, struck a pretty impressive Kung Fu Panda pose (he hasn't seen the movie but loves the commercials) and swiped at the air.

"You're dead, Mommy," he announced solemnly before returning to console K.

"Mommy's dead. It's OK."

My son, the hero.

Won't he be fun as a teenager?
