Mean Mom

I sent Sarah to the corner as punishment for doing something she knows she's not supposed to do.  I glanced at her once while she was standing in the corner.  I noticed she was drawing something on the wall with her finger.  When her punishment was over, I knelt down in front of her to talk to her.  After a short discussion, apology, prayer, and hug, I released her, and she said, "I'll show you what I was drawing while I was in the corner."  I watched her little finger trace the letters M-O-M, and I thought, "Isn't that sweet."  But then her finger drew a circle around it and put a big angry slash through the whole thing.
