Mommy, I am not proud of myself...

Amanda related a story today that shocked the hell out of me, that
maybe we were instilling values in our kids after all.

Lia and David were being particularly troublesome while Amanda was
unpacking groceries: petty fights, whining, talking back, etc. She
the sends the locklings out of room to finish her work. When she is
finishing up, Lia comes back into the room with her head hung low.

"Mommy, I am not proud of myself."

Amanda was shocked, but managed, "Why, Honey?"
Lia looks up with mournful eyes heavy with tears, "Because I was so
mean to you."
