I have mentioned how an excessive amount of my day is spent saying some form of "Child, do not punch, kick, smack, bite, or tackle your sibling. Even if you both think it's funny. Even if you're both giggling." For the record, these lectures are *almost* always aimed at the toddlers rather than the teenager. Also I admit I am somewhat to blame, being a big supporter of games and chicanery which involve pillow fights, bouncing on the bed, tickle fights, etc.
So it should have been no shock yesterday to find myself in a mall play area calling out - quite loudly, might I add -
"Cub, do not sit on your brother and ride him around like a pony!!!"
(No, I'm not just imagining the other moms think I'm weird. They think I'm weird.)
