When All Else Fails
lose the battle to win the war.

Me: Heathen son, please pick up your toys.

HS: NO!

Me: Pick up your toys!

HS: NO! I WANNA WATCH TV!

Me: PICK UP YOUR TOYS NOW!

HS: NO! I DON'T WANNA PLAY ANYMORE! MOMMY NO YELLING!

Me: Do you want a time-out?

HS: NO! I WANNA WATCH TV! I DON'T WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE!

Me: Are you tired?

HS: Yah.

Me: Wanna go to bed?

HS: Yah.


An hour early mind you.

HS is my first child, and even *I'm* surprised that he is so completely honest. About everything. It's only afterwards that he realizes his folly. Thank goodness for me...LOL!
