Gideon's Translation of Mommy Speak

I was folding laundry yesterday when I heard Gideon trying to engage Silas in a pillow fight.  Silas wasn't too keen on the idea, having experienced a "pillow fight" (a Gideon clobbering) earlier in the morning.  I shouted to Gideon that I didn't want any pillow fighting.  He either didn't hear me or ignored me (probably the later), so I crossed the hall into the boys' room just in time to see Gideon throwing a pillow at Silas from on top of the bunk bed (as though Silas wasn't already at a serious disadvantage in the pillow-fighting category).  Silas was crying and I firmly told Gideon, "I better not see you throw another pillow!"  Gideon responded with, "Okay...but just don't watch.  You can go clean the downstairs."

Silas will grow up and things will even out and then the REAL fun begins!
