Conviction.

Shem, my little brother, sidled up to me and asked in a sweet voice, "Lula, can we have a sleepover at your house soon?"

I sarcastically replied, "Sure, I just love having such peaceful, well behvaed children stay in my house."

His face lit up, he let out a gasp, and jumped into my lap. "Thank you!"

I felt awful.
So the kids are coming down tonight ;)
