Me: Will, listen. I'm sorry I tried to make you play our game after you told me you didn't want to play any more. That was wrong of me--I should have listened to you, and I'm sorry. But it is never okay for you to hit me. That was the wrong way to end the game. Hitting people is unacceptable.
Will: Okay--okay! Fine, Mummy. Go back to the laundry room and finish the laundry now.
Yep. Happy mother's day to me...
