What Justice Likes

Lillian told me this morning that she’s had a conversation with Justice that went like this:

Lil: You should talk to Rob about the miscommunication that happened yesterday.
Justice: Ok, but I really don’t want to.
Lil: Why’s that.
Justice: I don’t want to tell you because Rob will get mad.

[insert much haggling and discussion over why talking things out is more important than keeping them secret and allowing them to fester until some one blows their stack and drives a Chevy through the front door, killing the family goldfish]

Justice: I like you better when I’m in trouble with Rob.
Lil [ponders this for a moment]: Justice, do you like Rob better when you’re in trouble with me?
Justice: Yes.
Lil: Imagine that.

Yeppers, that’s our little Justice. She’s a wiz-bang psycho-analyst who has figured out that when you get in trouble with someone, you tend to not be all that favorably pleased with them.

Especially when they can send you to time out.
