Advice from an older Brother

This morning at breakfast Nathan threw his plate, food and all, on the floor as per usual. He's not getting that that's something we don't do so I smacked his hand. Afterwards Nathan just looked at me with a straight face and went back to goofing around. When I walked away to finish getting my coffee I heard Ben say to Nathan 'Cry!'....and it just cracked me up. Like Ben was telling his little brother 'no, you did it wrong. When you get a smack you need to cry....it's all part of the game'.
