Three-year-old Sara has a problem. She overreacts to the slightest thing that goes wrong. She just loves to cry and moan and present herself as a victim.
Today six-year-old brother Greg decided to tell her the story of the "boy who cried wolf." It seems that there was "a village with people in it. Nearby there was a wolf. In the village there was a little boy who cried all of the time, and always pretended that his life was miserable. One day when he was crying, the wolf came and ate him. So, Sara, if you don't stop crying all of the time, the wolf is going to come and eat you."
Sara replied, "Okay, can we play monsters now?"

Maybe they could tell that story to Tot. It might sink in better than from me!
Yeah she sounded like she really believed him....
It may have worked. As long as the wolf doesn't look like a monster!!
Good lesson. Did he sink permanently or just for now?
I love his interpretation. Hopefully it won't give her nightmares! What a great story.
LOL! Revisionist!
ROFL! Thanks for sharing.
Jungle mom is right. We have lots of revisionism going on all of the time here.
