The Golden Rule

The conversation on the way home from basketball practice last night:

Rebecca: What does my name mean?
Mommy: I'm not sure.
Emily: I think it means bossy because you're very bossy.
Rebecca: Do you want me to call you whiny pants?
Emily: No!
Rebecca: Then don't call me names. You know, the Golden Rule.
Emily: What's the golden rule?
Rebecca: Treat others like you would want them to treat you. It's posted all over the classrooms at church.
Emily: What's the Red Rule?
Rebecca: What?!?!
Emily: Ya know, the Red Rule? If there's a Golden Rule, what's the Red one?
Rebecca: (exasperated sigh) You're a goof!
