I took the children sleigh riding a while back. At one point my oldest was going back up a hill and a kid coming down the hill leveled them so hard their boots flew off. If that wasn’t bad enough, while they were sitting in the sled and I was retrieving the boots, another sled rear ended them. They didn’t think any of it was funny, I did, I wish I had a video camera with me. Then on the way home they were trying to come up with ways to blame others for their misfortune. First they said that if we had gone next day liked planned it wouldn’t have happen, then if I hadn’t made them go back up that hill, and finally if they were in school, we wouldn’t have been there. This tendency to rationalize is something to note.
