bribery is a powerful weapon in the parental arsenal .. second only to the force.
“you will sit on that potty. and. you. will. go.”
Comment by Lori October 3, 2007 @ 6:29 pmI love these types of posts. Somehow they tell more about the average day than even a paragraph description. (And I wouldn’t have been able to watch the mantis either.)

Comment by Stefani October 4, 2007 @ 9:35 amStefani stole my comment! I was just thinking that I love you more with every single post (and that you make us wait for it). The bribery, the button, the birthday binge. The house reminds me of the old house in Paris that was covered with vines. Beautiful.
