Once Bitten
- Wyatt: OW!
- Me: What happened?
- Wyatt: Boone bit me.
- Me: Okay. Let me see your hand... Holy crap, Boone.
- Boone: What?
- Me: Look at that bite mark.
- Boone: He told you I bit him. Why are you acting all surprised?
- Wyatt: Yeah, dude.
- Me: You can't bite people.
- Boone: I think I just proved I can.
- Wyatt: Really, Pop. Did you see my hand?
- Me: Why did you bite him?
- Boone: He was trying to take my puzzle piece.
- Me: That's not a good reason for biting someone.
- Wyatt: What is a good reason then?
- Me: Maybe if your plane crashed in the Andes and you had to survive.
- Wyatt: These teeth marks aren't going away.
- Boone: You tried to steal my puzzle piece!
- Me: You don't even know what piece that is.
- Boone: Sure, I do. It's a cow.
- Me: It's a police car.
- Boone: Doesn't matter. It's the principle.
- Me: Biting is not the answer. Neither is hitting, scratching, pinching—
- Boone: I never do that stuff.
- Me: Dude.
- Wyatt: Seriously.
- Boone: Okay. I do that stuff, but I'm learning how to assert myself while still using a limited arsenal of effective communication skills. Besides, this is basic toddler conflict resolution. We strike out because we don't know what else we can do.
- Wyatt: Yeah, dude. It's your job to teach us how to manage these situations.
- Me: That's what I'm trying to do.
- Wyatt: So?
- Me: Um... Don't bite.
- Boone: Wow. Genius.
- Wyatt: Thanks, Stephen Hawking.
- Boone: Well, I'm taking my cow to the hallway.
- Me: It's a police car.
- Boone: Doesn't matter.

Band Of Horses
Fall is on the Horizon and Band of Horses is on my play-list. Good day. I said Good day.
“All nature is but art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction, which thou canst not see;
All discord, harmony not understood;
All partial evil, universal good;
And spite of pride, in erring reason’s spite,
One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right” —Alexander Pope
