Henry and Ollie make up



Meet buddies Henry and Ollie.  They are learning the stuff of life right now.

Henry hits Oliver.  Henry's mom declares that Henry has earned a time out in his room.  Henry cries sad tears.  Ollie says "when he's done in his room and done crying he can come out."

Fast forward 3 minutes.

Henry comes out and approaches Ollie all on his own and the following conversation ensues:

"I'm sorry."
"It's ok"
"I won't fight anymore"
"Stefanie... He won't fight anymore"

And just like that best buds again.

Let us learn from these test subjects.  I think we make it too hard.
