No coffeecup for you

Sometimes I read these articles about bad parents so that I can feel good that while I might not be the perfect parent, at least I'm not listed in this article.  Josie won't be rapping about guns and drugs on Youtube until she's at least old enough to buy her own -- I mean never.

"You're a fixer, daddy. You fix everything." Kids really know how overestimate your skills.

The Coup

Josie informed me that we need to "Break the rule of Mommy." Turns out she didn't like being told that she couldn't have a cupcake before bedtime. For this she turned up the rebellion. This kid is going to be a troublemaker like me. I suspect our phones will be tapped soon.

She did get upset when I told her that was also a Daddy Rule. I've sold out to the man.

A good mix

The kid goes to a Methodist preschool that we adore. Why? Because this month they're learning about dinosaurs and Easter at the same time.

"I want a unicorn Tummy Stuffer" is today's big demand. Blast you Hub and your weird stuffer.
