Kids are really a joy aren't you.....How old are your kids?
I have a little guy - 4 and a little girl - 2. The other day my little girl hit her brother over the head with the heel of one of my running shoes.....when I heard the scream....I went running into my office with my boy crying and my daughter still with the evidence in her hand....saying with her big blue eyes.....I didn't do anything.
The logic for hitting him........he was on the computer playing a game and she wanted him to play with her...and he just didn't move fast enough for her......
kids........

Hockey gear stinks like nothing else ... we use a spare bedroom to store it.

The only thing that might get me out of this is the eldest is a girl
