Lila just started crying and said that Charlie had scratched her. Since I know that his aggression is rarely unprovoked, I asked her why he scratched her. That's a little more diplomatic than asking what she did to him. Anyway, she said, "I was trying to be kind to him, but I couldn't. I just wanted to be rude." Just to clarify, I asked her if that meant she was being rude to him and she said yes.
She tried to be kind but couldn't because she wanted to be rude.
That, my Love, is what we call 'battling the sin nature'. And it never ends.

Amen! Smart girl you have there. At least she knew what had happened and why, and seemed remorseful. At least I think that's what I got out of it. Hope her hand is okay.
Love,
Mom
P.S. Today is Lori's birthday. I did not call her.
I have that problem all the time!
