where the consequence lies

The lying continues. I watched as Brenna peeled the sticker off a banana and stuck it on the coffee table, and then listened as she told me she didn't do it. I instantly called her on it and she gave me a sour face. Her explanation for the recent lying is a simple shrug of the shoulders. As a punishment, she now has to clean her bedroom and Paige's room. This is in addition to her loss of computer and TV privileges from the lies she told the other day. The girls think it's fun to irritate me. Okay, they win--I am definitely irritated. And now they will face the consequences. Bedtime will be at 8:30 tonight...again.
