You guys DO know I'm a bad commie on occasion.

It was the morning, you have to do what you have to do. Besides, it's not like you screamed and put the fear of god in her. Whatever works, indeed.
ReplyDeletePlaying the "Santa Card" in October..... ruthless parenting!
ReplyDeleteyes, oh yes!
ReplyDeleteI do like me some Bruce. Too bad there is no video of his rendition of SCICTT from his concert in hte 70's at WNEW (I think). That version could make your daughter pick up her toys, clothes, get ready for school etc. for a year!
