That's my daughter...

So most of you know that I am struggling with my oldest daughter who just turned 10. I love her to pieces and she has the biggest heart of anyone, I mean anyone, I know. Bless her heart, she has pretty light brown/dark blonde hair and boy does she live up the blonde stereotype. We, as I mentioned before, are having trouble with our middle child, Murphy. Since he isn't fond of his little sister and after trying everything we can to persuade him, we ordered an underground fence for him. He will now be an outside/basement at night dog. I really do feel bad that it has come to this but we thought he would adjust better to being outside all day then Maggie would!! Well when we got the package today I was explaining to Makayla that it was like his shock collar but it is underground and if he crosses over it it will shock him. She looked kind of concerned and in all seriousness asked me "so if I ride my bike over it really fast, it won't hurt that much". She thought that it was "active" and would electrocute her if she crossed it. I explained that unless she was wearing his collar she would be fine. Poor thing. Does it make me a bad mom that I considered going with her version and watching her face the first time she passed the flags!!! That's my daughter!! Seriously...
