Opposites Retract
My sister has two teen daughters. I’m visiting and they get into a verbal fight and both say some mean things.
Sister: “You two stop and apologize to each other right now or I’m sending [Niece #1] outside to play and [Niece #2] up to your room to read!”
Both Nieces: “We’re sorry! We’re sorry!”
Niece #1: *Goes up to her room to read.*
Niece #2: *Goes outside to play.*
Me: *To my sister.* “Lemme guess, one’s an introverted bookworm and the other is an extroverted outdoorsy type, and punishment for one is paradise for the other?”
Sister: “Hit the nail on the head.”
