Sibling Rivalry

It has already begun! I was wrapping birthday presents and used up all the paper so the cardboard roll was left. Of course Mariah wanted to play with it and I let her (not seeing that it would be a weapon....yet). I went to start the shower and as I came back in the room I heard Trent cryingn and Mariah was rubbing his leg and trying to quiet and soothe him. I noticed the cardboard roll next to him and assumed the worst. Ususally I am normally wrong when I assume things, but not this time. I asked Mariah if she hit Trent with the roll and she was honest and said she did, but didn't mean to. I asked her to show me how hard she was swinging the roll and she was practically beating the roll as hard as she could on the bed next to Trent and Trent must have moved a little or Mariah's aim wasn't exact and that is how she hit him. I know she didn't mean to but it was pretty funny. It left a big red spot on his leg and I had to get a picture.
