maybe this time around it will be more effective

for those of you who have been with me from the beginning of my blogging life, you will remember the hitting game. if you have joined me more recently you will want to go back and read it, i guarantee it will make you laugh (you'll need to read it first for this post to make sense!).

well, last week lala was acting out, again, but this time mitch was dealing with it. i was not there so this is how it went, as told to me by my husband.

lala got upset with something that he was asking her to do, probably something like cleaning up a mess she made (she really hates cleaning up her messes). so, she did the first thing that came to her mind and hit him. uh-oh! big no no!

so mitch says, "oh, do you want to play the hitting game?"

lala says, "yes!"

then he hits her, apparently harder than i did in our version of the game.

lala starts wailing and screaming at him, "you aren't playing by the rules!!!"

mitch says, "what rules?'

lala answers, "the rules that mommie made! that you can't hit harder than i do!"

hmmmm, i don't ever remember making that rule.

my rule, ..... JUST DON"T HIT!! that's my rule!
