Rude Awakenings!

I was interrupted from a very deep and enjoyable sleep several times last night. The first was at a mere 2am, and I'm not going to go into details on what that was about. The second, was at 7:30 am, which is technically morning but after having my sleep interrupted once already, 7:30 felt a little more like the middle of the night to me. Anyway, to proceed with the story, Brooke woke me at 7:30 this morning bauling that Ashton smacked her in the head.

 
"Why did Ashton smack you in the head?" I asked, still groggy
   "I don't know, I was just trying to wake her up for school." Brooke says in the sweetest voice she can muster.

Knowing Brooke, there has got to be more to this story. I don't want to say that  Brooke is a bad kid, but she certainly isn't winning any awards for good behavior any time soon.
  "Brooke," I say, rubbing sleep from my eyes, "how, exactly is it that you went about waking your sister up?"
Brooke gives me the doe-eyed innocence look.
   "I just shook her a little and said, 'its time to get up and get ready for school Ashton.' And then she smacked me in the head!"
  "hmmm." Theres definately more to this story .
Just as Brookie is about to snuggle into my lap and really milk me for sympathy, Ashton comes bouncing into the room, leaps up onto the bed and says,
  "Mom, Brooke woke me up this morning by sticking her finger in my butt!"

And...There's the rest of the story.

When I finally did get to the bottom of the whole thing, (no pun intended.) I discovered that Brooke didn't exactly intend to penetrate Ashton's crevice with her finger, but instead was going for the more mild offense of pinching and her fingers slipped. Considering Ashton was not blessed with ample booty, this possibility is quite plausable and I choose to accept it.

As for my choice in discipline, well what could I do really? If it were me waking up to anal probing I think I would have done more than just smacking the culprit.

Lesson learned: choices and consequences.

Probing another's ass = a smack in the head.
Good enough for me.
