Right and Wrong

It has been a hectic few weeks lately.   My twin sister found out she has a brain tumor (that will be removed in a week), Linley has RSV and Caleb was diagnosed with walking pnemonia.  Not to mention then that Linley was put into the hospital for observation for RSV and Caleb was on antibiotics.  Let me just say, it's been crazy. 

Now, to today's story:
We are having our devotion time at the table while eating breakfast.  John is reading the devtional on Right veses Wrong.  We then have a discusison on how to apply how to choose the right thing to do.  We ask Ethan, "Now, when Caleb hits you, should you hit him back?"
Ethan's response-"Mom, Caleb scratched me in the face."
Me-"I know. But, should you hit him back when he hits you?"
Ethan-"No."  Way to go. 

Caleb's up:
Me-"Caleb, when Ethan makes you mad and takes away your toy, should you throw a truck or a train at him?" Side note-Caleb throws whatever is in hand when he gets mad.
Caleb looks at me, you can see the wheels turning.  I, of course, am waiting for a "No mom."  Here is his response:
Caleb-"Train."

When given the choice he would choose to throw the train over the truck.  Let's just say it took a few minutes for John and I to gather ourselves back from laughing hysterically before we could continue that lesson on no throwing at all.
