I am trying very hard to keep my boys from tattling on each other. Sure I want to know if someone is in immediate danger, but some things they need to learn to handle on their own. Noah is grasping the concept of not tattling very well. Jonah on the other hand needs a little more work. This was our recent conversation...
Jonah: Momma, Noah is tattling on me.
Me: What? Noah hasn't even said anything to me. How is he tattling on you?
Jonah: He told me that if I didn't stop hitting him that he was going to tell you.
...see what I mean? I never could convince Jonah that in that instance, he was the one actually tattling. Oh, what and exciting life I lead.
