At our school they have an abuse assembly each year. I think what some kids take from this is that if they think we're abusing them, they can call 911, CPS or tell a teacher and we will be dealt with. The problem is, what they consider "abuse" is not usually a true form of abuse. Ahhhh, kids and their drama.
I hope she's gotten it out of her system for awhile. I'm glad husband stood his ground with you.
I too find it amusing when my kids lose it like that. I try to hide that from them, but sometimes they see it. That just makes mine that much more POed. I just tell myself, I'll do better next time hiding it. Sometimes you just can't help yourself.
If it weren't for me laughing, I'd be pissy, so laughter sounds like a better option to me.
