| Our table. It has received many lectures over the years. |
Derek is really good at handling hurts with humor. So, often, when our children would run into walls, or objects, and would get a little hurt, the object would suffer his "wrath". For example, if one of the kids ran into the table, and was crying, Derek would give that table a stern lecture, and maybe even spank it. Pretty soon the hurt child would be laughing and trying really hard to convince their Dad that tables can not hear anything.
I was surprised the first time I saw this. I don't think I would have ever thought to do that, but it works. I have lectured tables and walls myself with resulting giggles, and we all know that giggles are better than wails any day.

I think they got it from their mother. I saw Grandma chastizing a chair when a little one got hurt. Trent does it, too.
