We knew this day was coming and soon would be here, but the day has arrived. Celia has had approximately 22 months to beat up on her weaker little sister. We have seen many chokeholds, pushes, trips, and pancakes (completely laying down on top of bennett who has been previusly knocked to the ground) but we knew the day would come when Bennett would strike back.
Well the day has come, the tables have turned. Recently bennett has perfected a move I like to call "The paddle wacker." The PW works like this. Upon being assaulted by her older sister Bennett instively responds by spotting her target, turning her face to the side and letting the arms flail about, in hopes (and most often success) of landing multiple blows to the face of her older sister who is only about a head taller than her! All of this happens within seconds, and I must say it is very effective. Often it catches Celia so off guard, she reacts with a stunned face which quickly turns to crying, and then inevitably through the weeping she cries out "Bennett hit me." Well of course she did.
I must say that although all of this confirms Total depravity it is so shocking that it is bad but it is somewhat funny...good thing our church is beginning a new class on Fathering...Although I am teaching another class I will indeed be listening to those gems!!! I need all the help I can get!

That is awesome, can she teach Lucy the PW?
Loving the picture also.
Dave,
That is hilarious and I am laughing out loud... out of pure love for my amazing nieces but also deep understanding and experience with the battles among siblings and depravity of man.
Love y'all,
Liz
This cracks me up!
A perfect account of the PW, and the perfect picture to go with it. Bennett looks like Goliath in that picture!
I saw evidence of B's biting technique on C's tummy this morning, too. Impressive.

The biting is more ferocious and less funny! It's awful!
You know what my dad used to say when either my brother or I came crying to him after fraternal fisticuffs? "You probably deserved it." Truer words were never spoken. He also used to say on long drives when inevitably one of us had to go to the bathroom, "Tie it in a knot." That still cracks me up.
Bennett needs a cape in this picture. She's so victorious!!
