Brotherly Love!!!

This week, Jack got a balloon from Chik-fil-A and it takes a lot of air to blow it up. He was so proud that he could do it. Right up to when Spencer would find it and let the air out. The second time this happened, Scott and I were in our room and we hear in the kitchen, "SPENCER SCOTT PEARCE! How many times do I have to tell you??? I'm telling on you!" We hear Jack's little pitter patter stomping and he comes around the corner and says, "Mom, Spencer let the air out of my balloon again!" I asked him, "How many times has he done this?" Jack said emphatically, "TWICE." I ended up asking Jack what he thought I should do and he said we should spank him. So we told Jack to send Spencer back here to us and to go get the spoon. Jack marches off to take care of this situation. He returns with Spencer and the spatula. We told him we would handle it and closed the door. Now, Spencer is standing there looking at us with this look of "Are you serious?" Of course we told him no but scream really loud while we hit the bed and we giggled and got a real kick out of this and Spencer thought it was pretty funny that we were playing a joke on Jack. Spencer played the part very well and Scott walked out with Spencer (and Spencer gave me the thumbs up sign! after we did address him letting the air out of the balloon) and Scott told Jack we took care of it. The best part? As Spencer passes Jack in the doorway, there was no "Spencer, are you okay? Did it hurt? I'm sorry ... mercy abounds....." nope, not from Jack. He passes Spencer and says, "AND don't do it again." Deadpan stare. Wow ...... I think we have some work to do ....
