tyler had just gotten after ryan, telling him that he needed to listen to dad.
later in the night it was time to have family prayers.
ryan was kneeling on the floor with his arms folded.
(this is a rare event, we usually have to hold him down).
tyler was on the couch and ryan said to him.
"dad, it's time for prayers"
when tyler didn't move quickly enough
ryan said "dad, you listen to me, do you hear me? you need to listen to me!" repeated a few times.
