Would not go back to those days for ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY.
At this point in my life, were he mine? he would undoubtedly be smacked on the bum at some point. Not hard, mind you, but just enough to make me feel better.
I'm so glad that my kids are teenagers.
Teenagers are SO much easier to deal with.
Sheesh ... TIME OUT, Dude!!!!!
LOL!!
Ditto Badger. I would not go back to those days for all the money in the world!
Thank God they're so cute at that age. It's the only thing that guarantees that we allow them to live long enough to reproduce. Truly.
oh my god, that made me simultneously LAUGH and thank the universe mine are bigger....
I actually came to say we are even: I freak you out, and you make me really really hungry.
:-D
Badger - you have no idea how often I think of you when I'm having an absolute SHOCKER of a day with these little sproggets.
Blackbird - its comments like those which are at the core of why I LOVE you.
Kurrabi - for all of us. Man - how many times am I saying 'you can cry as long and loud as you like, you just have to do it in your bedroom.'
