We had an issue with Rory today. She said something REALLY not nice to Logan. Not cursing but incredibly mean. When I was teaching Youth Ministry they taught a lesson about watching what you say with toothpaste. They had the kids squirt the toothpaste out of the tube. Once it was out, they told them to put it back in the tube. Obviously, you can't do that and it taught the kids that once you say something, you can't take it back.
So I made Rory go get toothpaste and squirt it into a bowl. Once she was done, I told her to put it back in. She asked for a spoon in an extremely cocky way. I gave it to her. She proceeded to PUT THE TOOTHPASTE BACK INTO THE TUBE! I guess when they did it in Youth Ministry, they used an actual tube and not a kid's toothpaste tube which is apparently different. I still told her the lesson and in true sassy form she said, "So what does it mean that I put the toothpaste back in the tube?" I told her to leave the room while she still could. *sigh* Parenting.

I heard this story tonight at dinner at my parents. While the meaning and lesson behind it was great I think the teacher underestimated the pupil. Rory is as stubborn as her mother ;) You can't tell her she can't do something. I wish I had that "Challenge Accepted" gif right now. "You wanna bet" she thinks. I don't know where in the world she gets that from? Yes, I know it's me. Like you thought for a second that everything wasn't my fault?
