Take that, sis

This evening I took Austin to karate. It was belt test night. Austin was not eligible to test. But, since he is a big, bad red belt now, he was asked to come and help with the administering of the tests for the other belts. He was not looking forward to it. He wanted to go to the neighbor's house and play. They called about 20 minutes before we were supposed to leave and invited him over. That gave me a teachable moment about following through with committments. After the belt tests, Austin said that he had a great time helping. As the lead instructor would call out the techniques, Austin would demonstrate the technique for the group. For his efforts, he got two handfulls of candy.

 While we were at the belt test, Jen took Addy to the neighbor's house. While Addy and Lexie played, Jen talked with Julie and her college roommate. The older girls were back in their rooms playing as well. A short time later, Morgan stormed into the living room and declared "Rylee just peed on the floor in my room". Julie's mouth fell open in shock, which seems like a reasonable initial response to me. Rylee explained that Morgan had been messing with her and had stolen her pants as she was trying to use the restroom. Rylee's response was to pee on floor in Morgan's room. Rylee sure has some spunk to her! Julie was not sure who to be more upset with, Rylee for the act or Morgan for announcing it to everyone. Both girls were sent to bed early.

 I asked Jen if she had ever peed on the floor in Courtney's room? She responded that if she had, she would be dead now. I had to agree with that assessment.
