Hey there Dad. Good to see you.
Howdy BS...!!! Nothing new here other than trying to figure out what to put into the toaster oven...
You haven't gotten any of the kids trying to put one over on you for some "supposed" yard work again then?
Well yeal, I had to give them a time out the other day. Then I felt bad doing so. They wanted to play the Wii, but it was lunch time. My grandson finally did what he was told, and sat down and started eating his lunch. I had to make my granddaughter stop, and sit down at the table to eat. I told her she could play the Wii after lunch. I swear, I only turned my back for 15 seconds and she had stuffed her whole lunch into her mouth. I was really mad and said, "if you don't settle down I'm going to give you a 30 minute time out in bed." I turned around again (you'd think I'd know better, right?), and my granddaughter was shoveling my grandsons lunch into his mouth as fast as she could... He had food all down his shirt. I yelled, "Ok, that's it, your going to bed...!" They were in shock that grandpa was really going to give them a time out. I put them both in their own beds and went into the living room and put gunsmoke on. While I was sitting there I realized, my grandson really hadn't done anything wrong... But it was too late now. They got back up after 30 min., but I still feel really bad for punishing my grandson. Oh well, once I said they were going to bed, I didn't want to change my mind and let them know they could get away with not getting punished.
