the difference between scarlett and owen

Owen has become such a little comedian. He is so cuddly and sweet, and funny. He loves to play me songs on his guitar and dance. He does not like to get in trouble. Scarlett on the other hand thinks that if she is in trouble there has been a major injustice against her. God forbid she do anything wrong, and that might be the reason she is in trouble. Owen sits in time out and in less than 5 seconds I hear his little voice saying, "i sorry mom, i listen now". Scarlett would be saying, "it is so rude of you to put me in time out". tonight I heard a loud crash and I went to see what had happened, and the coffee table was up side down. I walk in the room and I see scarlett running to the couch saying "Owen! why did you do that!?" Owen sees me and puts his head down and starts to cry. Any outsider would watch this scene and say to themselves, "Owne must have pushed the table over." But I know that this is not what happened. I know what took place had a LOT to do with Scarlett.
I said, "Scarlett, what happened?"
She said, " I was just sitting on the couch and Owen pushed the table over!"
I said, "You expect me to believe that this little 2 year old boy flipped a 40 pound coffee table over by himself?"
she said, "it is possible"
I said, "I highly doubt it!"
She said, "oh, all right, I whispered in his ear, lets push it over. And then I flipped it over by myself"
I spanked and then made her sit in time out for lying.

While in time out, she is saying things like, "this is the worst day ever, it is not fair" just the usual.
Owen on the other hand is all hugs and "i'm sorry's"

Also scarlett told us this morning that last night when she crawled in bed with us she felt like "a piece of smashed ham" between me and mike. Mike said, "and that is why you should be in your own bed.
