Brotherly Love

For the most part, our sons get along swimmingly. They play together all the time and rarely fight. Every once in a while, however, they get on each others' nerves.

This afternoon my two-year-old was bugging his older brother. I'm not even sure what they were fighting about. Just as I stepped in to break up the argument, my little guy (usually a very easy-going type) hauled off and slapped his brother on the back.

"What was that!" I exclaimed, "Did you just hit your brother?"

My toddler put on his most contrite expression. He calmly replied, "No Mommy ... I just squished him."
