Honesty

I about saw red today when I walked by the decorative blackboard hanging by my

front door and saw this

You might look at it and say whats the big deal.

It's just a cute chalked smiley face.

Well it's not chalk

Somebody carved a permanent smiley face with a sharp object.

I called the little kids up and asked who did this?

Everyone just looked at me and said not me.

I said fine if nobody will confess then you all have to go to your room for the night.

The boys started crying as they went down the stairs to turn the WII off.

I could here them say it's not fair I did not do it.

Just then Madeline came to me and said.

Mom it was me.

I did not understand at first and I said are you just saying that?

She said no I did it with a nail.

I am really sorry.

I then had the boys come back in the leaving room and had Madeline apologise to them.

I then told the boys to thank Madeline for telling the truth.

I looked at Madeline and told her I was very proud of her for makeing the right choice.

She then smiled at me and said so do I have to go to my room I said yes.

I told her again that I was very proud of her for being honest..

She grinned again and It felt good ..

She is such a good girl..
