my heart aches....

Tea was given 5 dollars...Moe wanted the money and threatened Tea with a clotheshanger to get it. Then she left the house and spent it.

After a little yelling and a whipin' for Moe, both were asked a question.

Sique (as Mom): why did you take it?

Moe: I was tired of her; she was running her mouth and I got sick of it and so I took it her money and it made me feel better. And it was worth it.

...my heart ached a little. had I been a part of what made this happen? the fact that she:

• would talk to me like that
• threaten and steal from her sister
• lie to me about it and continue to lie until I told her I knew what happened

this makes me think that I did something wrong.

Sique (as Mom): Why didn't, you tell me, Tea?

Tea: I was afraid you would get mad because I gave in.

I thought I was teaching them strength of character (moe) and strength of will (tea).

what am I teaching them?

Sique (as conscience): what are you going to do now?

Sique: I don't know...
