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?”
