Face-to-face chat

After church today, Jovie told me she had pulled her friend's hair. (Despite having a few areas to work on, she is very honest and tells on herself.  I am hoping - maybe foolishly- that this remains the case through the teenage years.) I put her on my lap and started talking to her very seriously about how we should be nice to our friends, and our hands aren't for hitting, pushing, pulling, etc. In the middle of my speech, she put her hands on my eyebrows and shoved them up toward my forehead. She said "Your eyebrows are mad, Mama. Don't be mad." It took everything I had to remain serious and finish our chat, especially because she furrowed her eyebrows back at me for the rest of the conversation.
