Life Lessons: Sticks and Stones May Break Bones - But Words Can Also Hurt You

Flower and Puck and I were walking with Bae in his stroller to school.  They were a little behind me and Bae. I'm not quite sure what Puck said, but I Flower was incredibly offended by it.  She does this quite often - melts down because Puck has said something.  Usually he's said or done something she deems "mean".  She cries and whines and yells and sobs.  

I've told her again and again, if she doesn't have that reaction every time, eventually he'll stop doing it.  He's looking for that reaction, I tell her, and she gives it to him every time.
