Eavesdropping

I have decided that I am now to the point where I let Josiah and Simon work out their differences on their own. Translation: I am too lazy to stop the millions of fights they get into everyday, so I let them fight as long as no one gets seriously injured. I know, I am a bad parent. But if I attempt to break up every single fight, I would never get anything done. So while I was letting them "work things out", I overheard this exchange:

Josiah: Simon, stop hitting me
quiet
Josiah: Simon, stop hitting me (this time yelling, enunciating each word)
Simon giggles
Josiah: Simon, if you don't stop hitting me, I will knock your block off
End of fight

I'd say I deserve a pat on the back for that.
