Compromise


We are having friends over for a BBQ tonight and I foolishly attempted to bribe Samuel with fruit snacks (baby crack around here...) to help pick up the toys in the downstairs. After some rolling around on the floor and whining about how hard it is, he finally told me "Never mind mom, I'll just pretend this drink is a fruit snack."
I think you will go far, my lad!

My kid says "It's ok. Just put the toy in time out." so she doesn't have to put it away. We are going to have AWESOME teenagers...

I know! How do they learn so early on how to use our own rules against us? Evil geniuses, all of them!

I've offered mine money before to clean up after the day care kids, and was blessed with this response, "Mom, money isn't everything." From the mouths of babes.
