Luke (sitting serenely on the couch reading a book): No, I didn't.
Me: Luke, did you punch your brother? What did I tell you yesterday about that? Remember how you sat in time out for punching?
Luke (not even bothering to look up from his book): I didn't punch.
Me: Then tell me why Ethan is crying and pointing at you?
Luke (letting out a sigh like he's completely exasperated with us all): I didn't punch . . . I just hit him.
Me: LUKE! It's the same thing!
Luke: No Mom, you're wrong. Punching is like this (holding up two fists), but hitting is like this (opens his hand and begins to slap the air).
Me: Get in time out now!
Luke: But, but, but, but . . . you just said no punching Mom . . .
Me: I want no hurting. That means no punching, hitting, kicking, biting, or anything, okay?
Luke (while shuffling to time out): What about scratching Mom?
WHAT?! Whose kid is this?

Um, his daddy wouldn't happen to be a lawyer, would he?
That made me laugh out loud! Did you go to the "Raising Sons" class at Women's Conference last year? I remember the speaker saying that you have to be very specific with boys, as Luke just demonstrated. That kid cracks me up.
Like I've said before, I'm in love with that kid. The story made me laugh out loud and I needed that today.
I too laughed out loud at this one. Hilarious.
This is classic. Evidently you are going to need to be specific and lengthy with this little guy.
yes, we have that issue with hari. he likes to follow the letter of the law and not the spirit of the law.
this story is too fuuny. i laughed out loud and made pete read it too. oh and by the way you had me drooling over all the lime foods. everything just tastes better with lime. did you know target has these cookie that are lime with white chocolate chips in them...i think they are archer farms if i remember correctly. yum.
Uhhhh, Audra, hate to break it to you...but he's an attorney's child.
