We believe in being honest

While discussing what to make for dinner, Carl and I heard the cry of a 3-year-old who had obviously been trespassed against by the older brother. When we came to confront and console we asked Billy what had happened. When he wouldn't tell us, we asked Ian. Ian said that Billy had kicked him. Billy was sent to time-out until he could tell us honestly what he had done. When the time-out was over, Billy said that he had kicked Ian and then was, of course, forced to apologize to his little brother. He said sorry solemnly and Ian stated "that's okay, it was an accident" and Billy (sounding offended) said "No it wasn't."
Boys...Sigh
