Saturday morning, Max had his little friend over, Josie. Josie, being a girl, loves playing with little girlie things. Max? Not so much. Since Lily was also home, Josie wanted to play girlie stuff with Lily. In a fit of anger, Max went stomping down the hall and said "I'm going to my room and I'm going to slam my door!!" Overhearing this, I said, "Oh no you're not! We don't slam doors!" In a huff, he ran into his room, but quietly shut the door.
The next morning, Max and Lily were quarreling again. Max again went stomping down the hall and shouted, "I'm going to my ROOM and I'm going to shut my door GENTLY!"
Not quite the same impact......
