The Funniest Conversation

I had to write this down before I forgot anything. This was the conversation while we were just outside playing...

The girls were sitting next to the house on the sidewalk and I was sitting on the bench by our front window. Lilly had a couple of dead leaves in her hands and was tearing them apart and throwing the pieces. Lexi asked for some leaves and Lilly screamed and slapped her on the leg. Lexi didn't retaliate though, which is GREAT!

Lexi suddenly made a pouty face and laid down on the sidewalk. She whimpered and said, "I'm grumpy!" I asked her why and this is what she said...

"Well Lilly was playing with leaves and said 'no mine'. I asked her to give me some and she said 'no, mine'! So I said 'no mine', and she slapped me. Then I got grumpy cause she said 'no mine' and she said 'no mine'. So I didn't want to sit up. I laid down for a little bit, cause I'm grumpy. Now Lilly should kiss me and said say sorry!"

She turned to Lilly and said, "Lilly, can I have a kiss?" Lilly quickly embraced her and said sorry and gave her a kiss. They hugged tightly around the neck.

I about fell off the bench! I didn't even have to get up to separate them! I could really learn to enjoy that kind of conflict resolution. Doubt it will be the norm, but a girl can dream, right!!???!!
