How We Roll

Text conversation the other day:

Me: Quentin just peed on the slide.

Him: Dick!

Me: Yep, that's what he used.

Him: :/

Me: You're welcome.

Did I do that?

We were sitting in the family room Sunday night after a long day's drive back from the mountains and a dinner of leftovers. The girls were playing with a toy where you take a plastic hammer and pound balls into a chute. Zoe had the hammer and had wandered away from the toy while Amelia lined up the balls with her back to her little sister. I muttered quietly to Brandon, "Do you think I could talk Zoe into hitting Amelia on the head with that?" He nodded in assent. A moment later, Zoe walked directly to Amelia and SMACK! that hammer made contact. We were so stunned we sat in silent as she did it two more times. At that point Amelia screamed and we snapped out of it. I comforted Amelia while Brandon removed the weapon.

"Was that my fault?"
Shrug.

I am far more powerful than I thought.
