But we couldn't help but laugh. We're horrid parents. We're probably really horrid people.
The Howler has been told, repeatedly, to not go into the Toad's room. She takes his stuff, and usually either loses it (role playing game dice, Magic, The Gathering cards) or she breaks it (sleeping bag zipper, RC airplane). She's been warned.
The Howler and her friend, Blondie, were upstairs playing today. They ventured into Ass Caverns.
Toad had caught them, and they, of course, scampered to the Howler's room. We were on the patio, and can hear them telling him to "stay out!" and "get out!" and "you're not allowed in here!"... and the Toad telling them calmly (yes, calmly) that he'll be gone in a minute.
He proceeds to tell them off, quietly and rather more politely than usual for him, about going in his room. When he's done, he leaves.
As he leaves, the Howler tells him, "Yeah, get lost, Loser."
We laughed.
We did, I hope, redeem ourselves when we told him that he was right, and that how he spoke to them was okay (he usually gets really worked up--and then they actually fight. Someone always gets hurt then, and it's not always the Howler.)

It sounds like he's demonstrating some maturity! Yay Toad!
