Brennan was cleaning the kitchen when she heard a scream coming from Christine's bedroom. When she got halfway there her three year old Max ran into her legs, "Chrissy shut the door on my finger."
Brennan knelt down, "let me see it." Max held his finger out, Brennan gently felt it. "It not broken." Brennan stood up and went to the bathroom and came back with a wet wash cloth and wiped Max's tear stained face. Then she took him in the living room and got him settled with cartoons and an ice pack. She went to Christine's room stepped over a forgotten board game and went in the closed door.
"Why'd you close the door on your brother's finger?"
"I didn't mean to! I pushed him out, he's ALWAYS in here. He grabbed the door to come back in as I slammed it shut. I opened it as soon as he screamed."
"He just wants to play with you, he's been playing in the living room all morning by himself."
"He plays baby games though."
"He's three, he likes games for his age group. It won't hurt you to play with him. You need to apologize also."
"I know. I will."
"Thank you." Brennan left the room. A few minutes later Christine came into the living room with the game, "I'm sorry I shut the door on your finger, Max."
"It doesn't hurt now."
"That's good. I'll play Candy Land with you if you want."
"I want the green piece..."
