A tale as old as time itself. My oldest child, The Beanstalk (Age 13), just scolded me for administering a punishment to my middle child, The Squish (Age 8) that was less severe than the punishment she received for the exact same infraction when she was that age. And she’s 100% correct! I laughed and laughed because it’s such an old complaint, but she’s got me dead to rights.
Neither The Beanstalk nor I think The Squish deserves a harsher punishment. So instead, The Beanstalk got reparations in the form of Hersey Kisses – the very item she was punished for sneaking 7 years ago.
And I took them out of The Squish’s stash.
