Tough Love?

is how we try to get them to be stronger individuals…

Sands and Meg at the local art store. Meg drops an item from the shelf on the floor accidentally and a little cocky about getting to be taller than mom L

Sands: Meg, make sure you pick the item up and put it back on the shelf

Meg: Amma, I think you should do it since you are closer to the ground!

Sands: True, but I think you will get greater benefit if you do it. Will give you the practice you need those times in volleyball when you need to bend, drop and go for the ball that hits the ground a few feet from you and you just watch it in fascination

OH, Sands and the kids playing table tennis. Kids giving me a hard time that they beat me in a game and they play much better.

Sands: At least I play better table tennis than the one at home that is trying to playing volleyball and the other that’s trying to play basketball.

At this comment, the older one begins to giggle and laugh and the younger one runs crying to the couch. When the younger one is told at least he has a reason that he hasn’t played basketball in 6 months and that it’s the sister who should be feeling bad, the older one says, it’s a good thing I know I play well J

(Obviously the younger one is a work in progress!!)
