The Grounding

A few nights ago Joseph and Jacob were arguing and it escalated (big surprise:).

Joseph threw a boomerang and it hit Jacob. Jacob picked it up and hit Joseph with it and left a little bruise. They both came upstairs, Joseph crying and Jacob still angry.

Stan told Jacob that he was grounded for three days. Joseph misunderstood and thought he was grounded. He said "I can't not eat for three days!" I told him that Jacob was grounded, not him. Then he told me "Jacob can't not eat for three days either!"

It's sweet that he can worry about his brother while he is still crying from the bruise he received. I explained to him that Jacob would be grounded from video games and friends, not food. We don't withhold food from the kids. Really.
