From an actual conversation:

Child 1: “He hit me”

ME: “Why did he hit you?”

Child 1: “I don’t know.”

ME: “There’s no hitting. Why did you hit him?”

Child 2: “Because he stole my rubber band.”

Child 1: “It was MY rubber band.”

ME: “Aren’t there enough rubber bands to go around?

Child 1: “He has all of them.”

ME: “Give your brother some rubber bands.”

Child 2: “No.”

ME: “Why do you need so many rubber bands?”
