I Haven't Done My Job

Every once in a while I find myself in a position where my failures as a mom are glaringly apparent. These moments are especially embarrassing (entertaining?) when my shortcomings are announced publicly.

During the lesson in Ellie's primary class today, her sweet teacher asked, "How can we choose the right even when other people try to get us to make bad choices?"

Ellie's response: "We hit them."

And after the teacher kindly encouraged her to rethink her position...Ellie remained firm: "Yup, we hit them."

Sigh.
