Mother Who Hears Her Seven Year Old Son Screeming

The desire to “get even” seems to be a part of the human race. The story of a mother who heard her seven-year-old son screaming. She runs into the next room to see what is wrong, and discovers her two-year-old daughter is pulling the hair of her brother. The mother gets the hand of the baby unclenched and says, “You will have to overlook this. Your sister doesn’t know what it feels like to have her hair pulled.” The mother goes back into the kitchen when she hears the daughter screaming. She runs back into the room and says, “What happened?"  The boy answered, “She knows what it feels like now.” (William Hooper - Sermon Central)
