Things Heard

Anna Beth was hiding and playing behind the Christmas tree with a friend. I asked them both to leave the sunroom and move into the living room because they broke the rule. AB was pouting and asking for her Poppy. I told her she could not be upset with me, I didn't break any rules. If she wanted to be upset, she should be upset with herself. She didn't agree. I started my conversation again. When we got to the rule breaking part, I said, "Did Mommy break any rules?" She nodded her little head yes. I asked with a surprise in my voice, "What rule did Mommy break?" She replied, "You broke my heart."
