We all have weak moments in the parenting battle, don't
we? Those times when we are just so DONE
with the whining, the stomping, and the tantrum-throwing in the middle of
Target that we abandon all principles and opt instead for desperation.
Defeated, you blurt out the "T-word." You know the one.
TREAT.
That's right you darling child whom I seem to remember
loving so dearly this morning as he kissed me good morning and then wiped his
snot on my pajamas who now is about two seconds away from being traded to the
nearest shopper in exchange for their Starbucks gift card....if you can stop
acting like a lunatic so we can finish shopping for our toilet paper and votive
candles in relative peace and quiet, I will give you a treat when we get home. And
not like a "look it's a carrot stick!" kind of treat, but a very real
and very sugary kid-crack kind of treat.....
