my brain told me to...

Olivia has received her first official "grounding". She is a stubborn little girl with a bit of a wild side. She has a tendancy to do some crazy things, and has received punishments for them in the past. But Monday night she did something that earned her a grounding.

Olivia put a thumb tac in my father-in-laws birthday cake. At least she had enough sense to know that she had done wrong. And she told Jarrett that she did it before the cake was even served. I tell ya, that girl is something else. I wasn't there, but Jarrett said she was scolded on the spot. And is now grounded. It took us a while to decide what she would in fact be grounded from...Olivia's explanation for the whole ordeal "my brain told me to"??? That girl...hmmmm
