brotherly advice

Owen having executed a particularly disagreeable expression of temper...

Me: [stern mommy voice] Owen you are NOT allowed to throw things and slam doors if you are angry.  I will not allow that in this house.  I do NOT want to see that again, do you understand me?

In the background Asher has been standing and comes over..."Yeah Owen, you can just punch a pillow!  That's what you're allowed to do OK?  Just punch a pillow."

You can imagine how well that went over :}
