Uma has started issuing written citations to Kieran when he does something to annoy her. She writes the words "No Kieran" next to a picture of Kieran frowing while tears pour down his cheeks. Nearby is a drawing of Uma with a big smile on her face. Uma then hands the picture over to Kieran, who is happy to take it and quite clueless about its meaning. Then Uma says something like, "Kieran you really hurt my feelings. Tell me you're sorry and give me a hug." Kieran usually complies, and then Uma goes off to draw a new picture. This one shows Uma and Kieran both smiling next to the words "Yes Kieran." I wish I could say all their disputes ended so amicably, but I'm glad it works at least some of the time.
