After she confessed to being less-than-kind to a friend at a birthday party yesterday, I chastised Ava and insisted she be nice to everyone. Here’s the ensuing exchange.
Ava: “Well Ginger did it too!”
Mom: “Well if Ginger jumped off a bridge, would you jump, too?
Ava, after a long pause and with much conviction: “Yes.”
It was my first time throwing out an old-school retort like that, and it failed miserably. Too early?
