No peace in our house

March 3, 2008

Tonight Micah came in from the front yard very excited about an Olive branch he had found that had fallen off of one of our trees. He said he could use it to make a thing like on the back of a quarter, an eagle holding an olive branch. Jacob grabbed it out of his hand and said something about getting it out of the house because we were allergic to it. Micah got very angry and said that he wasn't allergic to olive trees. I said, "Well, I am, but that's beside the point, no tree stuff in the house, take it outside." He yelled, "FINE!" and slammed the door behind him. When he came back in he was crying and very upset. He said, in his sarcastic tone, "Oh this is just great, so you're allergic to the sign of peace. We can have no peace in our house."
