Luke's Loophole's

Lucas, who is 4, is a sweet and compassionate little boy. He loves and is extremely protective of his little brother Killian. He is sooo loving towards the people he is close to. His teachers have told us he truly cares for every child in his class, several of which are developmentally delayed in some form. He loves his 3 cats of various ages and a gigantic perpetual puppy who will be 3 Thursday.However, Lucas, like many kids can be calculated and underhanded. He was fast on my heels the other day as I headed to the kitchen.I had to squeeze by our 2 year old, who was taking up the most highly traveled stretch of carpet in our home. Most likely I was on the way to get Lucas, my shadow, a drink when I told Killian that he should probably move or someone was liable to step on him. It was then that I caught a glimpse from my peripheral vision of Lucas making an about face and heading back in the direction of the the roadblock in the main thoroughfare, whom we affectionately refer to as Killian, or Bubba. I was to the counter of our kitchen when I heard Lucas say, "Daddy told you that was going to happen." I stood there dumbfounded. Had our oldest son just intentionally stepped on his little brother, and if so, had I given him permission to do it? You be the judge- I am still not sure.
