Kids: “Let’s go to that store! Let’s go to that store!”
Me: “What? Why?”
Kids: “It would be so much fun!”
Me: “Sorry to break it to you guys, but you are going to be very disappointed some day when you actually go inside a Shoe Carnival.”

Parenting Tip #62:
If a four year old volunteers to go to bed at 6:30 pm… you let that child go to bed.
Also, check their temperature and might as well start making alternate child care plans for tomorrow.
And, word to the wise — don’t wear your good pajamas to bed because the likelihood that Patient Zero is going to crawl into your bed in the night to then puke on you is about 50/50.
Oh, Grow Up
Every time I come home, the kids hide and I pretend they are missing. When they finally jump out and “surprise” me, their squeals of delight are the most wonderful sound I’ve ever heard.
Part of me wants them to never grow out of our games.
And maybe we won’t.
