Playing House

Ok, I'll admit, I have spanked Caleb before. I'm not proud of it. I actually try to avoid it because it's not necessarily effective, but I'm not a perfect parent. So I shouldn't be surprised when this translates into Caleb's behavior. Caleb and Bryce were playing trains at my parents' house and Bryce did something Caleb didn't like. So Caleb stood up and smacked him on the bum. My mom went over to talk to him and the conversation went like this.

Grandma: "You're not supposed to spank Bryce. Are you the mom?"
Caleb: "We were playing house!"

I could swear I had the same conversation with my Mom or Grandma when I was that age. I did the same thing to Dylan.
