We don't yell at our children enough

Tonight, Sarah was putting Nick to bed. It was time for Nick to brush his teeth, but of course, Nick thought it was time to play hide and seek using the stool in the bathroom as a hiding place. Sarah was less than pleased.

Sarah put her hands on her hips and said in a loud voice "Nicholas Daniel."

To which our four year old responded, "Momma, my name is Nicholas Daniel Young." And he drew out the Young as only an annoyed four year old can.

I tried really, really hard not to laugh.
