Parenting 101

The girls out enjoying the neighbor's trampoline... a favorite pasttime!
 So, the other day Teresa was being her rather toddlerish-self while demanding to be given the skewers from the drawer in the kitchen.  I just said "no", shut the drawer, & walked away.  Then...
Teresa:  But I WANT it.
Me:  Well, just because you want something, doesn't mean you can always have it.
Rebecca:  Teresa, remember what Daddy said the other day about the Rolling Stones?
Some parents get their bits of wisdom from books... we prefer song lyrics.  ;)

  1. This is great...and uncanny...I was at a friend's today and she threatened to sing this very song to her one year old, then explained she'd been singing it to her four year old for quite a while with effective results :0)
