(not so) happy memory!

Earlier today while the family was in the car, Jadon & Evangelina had a spat during which each had scratched the other.  Both were rebuked, called to apologize to the other, & encouraged to seek God in being kinder as a sibling.  Both were also told that they needed a swat on their bottoms for what they did, to underline what we explained as the seriousness of sin, but we also told Jadon (as Evanglina's attention turned elsewhere) that it was likely that we would let Evangelina's spanking "slide" because we weren't in a place to stop the car, & because she is so young, if we spanked her much later she would not be able to make the connection between the "crime" & the "punishment."  Realizing that he WOULD be receiving his spank when we arrived at our destination (in about 10 minutes), he murmured, "I wish I didn't have memory."
