Jeremiah has this thing where whenever his sister is being naughty, or has recently been disciplined, he says, "Ali's naughty, huh?" He shakes his head as he says in a funny little way that looks like he's all wise and exasperated. It's humorous, but I don't ever want to reinforce to him that she's the bad child and he's the good child so I often reply with, "Ali is being disobedient right now, but you are disobedient sometimes too" or "you are naughty too" or "Ali was naughty to do _____ but remember that you did _____ today that was naughty." Whenever I say this he replies with "I a good boy!"
The other day Ali was in time-out and I just happened to catch our little guy saying this favorite phrase on video.
Oh, to get at their hearts and to teach Alathia to exercise self-control and teach Jeremiah that he is not "good" in and of himself!

Madison really liked watching this clip over and over!
That's hilarious! Kayley is MUCH easier to discipline than Aubrie because she's sensitive and it doesn't take much to get the point across.
