Negotiations

Little Miss Thing, age 4: “Can I have a cookie for breakfast?”

Me: “No, I don’t think so.”

LMT: “Can I have… three?”

Me: “No!”

LMT: “Can I have… one hundred and one?”

Me: “You are either horrible at negotiating, or brilliant at it. I’m not sure yet.”

Play Along

*** Public Service Announcement ***

We’re all crazy.

Yes, everyone over the age of 25 are all just faking this whole “being an adult” thing.

We’re all making it up as we go along.

Don’t sweat it.

Just play along, keep your nose clean and stay true to yourself.

You’ll be fine.

Knowledge is Power

Wonderful Wife: “We’re going swimming at the Lake!”

Me: “Better be careful of the sharks.”

Little Miss Thing, age 4 : “REALLY??!!?”

Danger Monkey, age 7: “Sharks live in salt water. The Lake is fresh water. There are no sharks.”

Me: “Don’t make me regret giving you all those science books.”
