Last night there was some major teasing and arguing amongst my offspring. Jachin led the teasing, while Zoe whined and smacked. Those are the usual, default roles.

I separated them and sent them to their rooms for bedtime. It was late anyway. I then went in and tried to have a heart-to-heart with Jachin. I asked him why — oh why — does he constantly tease his sister. This is what he told me:

“She’s the one that started all the mayhem.”

“Oh yeah?” I asked, assuming he meant the mayhem of the evening. But no… he was thinking bigger.

He said, “When she was born it totally changed the ways of my life!”

3. The funny thing is, does he actually remember when she was born? He was only, what, 3?
