The boys were behaving in their normal, cooperative fashion, hitting and scratching one another. Ava, caught in the crossfire, attempted to defuse the bomb.
“Ethan, you need to apologize to Andrew!”
“No, he hit me first. Look, I’m bleeding!” Ethan shot back in anger whilst displaying a tiny bead of blood oozing from a scratch on his arm.
Ava crouched down to Andrew’s level and with her arm around him said, “Andrew, you need to tell Ethan ‘I’m sorry’ OK?”
“No!” he threw back in her face and continued to cower in the corner.
Ava turned to me, exasperated and declared, “Arg! It’s so hard being a mother!”
Yes, yes it is.
