Time Out Anthem





Today, Beckett and Roslyn got into a fight. Music was playing, and they got into an argument over the song. Roslyn wanted the next song, and Beckett wanted to keep listening. She skipped the song, and a fight ensued. Someone unplugged it and hid it. Then, there was name calling, and finally crying. It happened so fast, I wasn’t able to step in until the crying part. Beckett went to time-out because he used potty words in his name calling.

He thought he was in time-out for unplugging and hiding the music. The two of them were yelling back and forth about who did it. I tried to separate them and explain why he was in time-out again. They yelled over me.

Beckett then began to sing loudly, the 2nd Article of Faith for our church:

“We believe that man will be punished for their own sins and not for Adam’s transgressions.”

Beckett knows what it means, because we have discussed it as a family – but he does not know what all the words are. Unfortunately, it comes out:

“We believe that man will be punished for their own sins and not for auto transmissions.”

I tried to get a video, but it didn’t work with all the screaming.
