I'll try to be patient... You see, dear, when a person becomes a grown-up, they can decide to approach things by not being in a reactive state, e.g. "Flint posted at me mean so I left the Cellar." You see, sweetie, when mommies and daddies go to work, their bosses would fire them if they acted that way. That is called having a bad attitude.
Now, you know I love you and want you to be the very best person you can be, right? So, I'm trying to teach you how to behave properly. Good little boys and girls don’t make excuses--they accept responsibility for their own actions. If you can do that, then you can do anything you set your mind to! Now go to sleep, little one. I'll turn on your night-light so you don't get scared by the Merc under your bed.
