Love Hurts

A few days ago, Laureen explained to Erin how sometimes, when a little boy likes a little girl or vice versa, but doesn't know how to express those feelings, he hits her, or pushes her, etc. So now our darling little daughter has manipulated this in her brain to mean that physical aggression is a sign of affection. Countless random times per day, as Erin is passing me by, she suddenly reaches out and punches me on the arm or on the back. When I respond with an, "Oww... what are you doing?" Erin inevitably replies, "Dadoo, that means I love you."
