Last night, Camille asked to play Webkins, for the 100th time, I might add, and I said "no." I was NOT prepared for the complete fit that followed! She jumped up, turned to me and screamed, "You're fired! Daddy's fired, Gracie is fired and Brooke is fired!" Then she ran out of the room. Before she reached the hall, she turned around and yelled..."well. Brooke's not fired, but everyone else is!"
I know. I know. She sounds like a complete spoiled brat and major discipline was needed.....and that did come. Believe me! But in that moment, I could think of nothing funnier than what I had just heard! My 7yr old had just fired me! Gracie and I did steal a glance and a giggle....I just couldn't help it. How are we to discipline when their "sins" are so hilarious?
Does God ever just giggle at our mistakes down here before he teaches us the lesson? I know Camille knew that trouble was coming.....she sat in her closet and waited. When I really mess up, and I know God is unhappy, I wait in my closet too. Camille and I are not that different!
