Parenting Advice from the Diva

Last night after dinner, CJ was running around crazy. Meanwhile, Alexander was dilly dallying over his dinner plate. Zack and I were still sitting at the table trying to "encourage" the boy to eat something. This is when CJ made a grand pronouncement.

CJ: Mommy, when you get frustrated with Alexander... THEN you need to spank him.

(Editor's note, this is a common yet hollow threat in our house)

Me: Okay, hmmm. Well, CJ, when we get frustrated with you, should we spank you?

CJ: LONG PAUSE. Umm, no.

Zack and I just cracked up. She IS the Diva.

I didn't think my children spanked their children. I know I just had to say "I'm getting my paddle". You will have to listen to C J because she will tell you what to do. Mom
