Pinch

Yesterday I was installing the ceiling fan in the bedroom. C was all over the place and would not listen. D put her a cartoon, which C liked, but would not sit for more than 30 minutes. C was picking up all the screws and washers and displacing it. After repeated requests, I got angry and pinched her. Whenever things like this happens, C does not run to D or myself, but would run out the room to an empty room and would sit there for sometime. She returned after some time. After we finished the installation, C came to me and started playing in the bed. She was all bouncy and didnt think about the pinch at all. I cannot believe any human being would forget (forgive!) such thing so fast and so fully!  I was overwhelmed that I told D that I would forgive / forget, if C does anything really bad when she grows up. (SO, if Chantel is reading this, she can use it as an excuse in the future!!!)
