Quote of the Day

We have had a lot of trouble lately with Jack and Elliot criticizing Mattie, especially as he increasingly tries to assert himself as a fellow big kid. In this instance, Mattie had just finished drawing something on a piece of paper. He showed his work proudly to Jack, Elliot and me. Jack took one look at it, and declared that it wasn't a good drawing because it was just a scribble. I took Jack aside, and explained to him once again that criticizing other people wasn't acceptable behavoir. He looked at me, and with utter frustration declared, "Well, I don't like to lie!"
