I just told my 7 year old the following:
“If you want to do what you want to do today, then I suggest that you do what you know you should”. -me
What? No sooner did it come out of my mouth then I realized that I’m not sure I even understood what I meant. Did I mention the little person I said it to was 7 years old?? I think I know what I meant and he didn’t really react so maybe he did too.
Or not…
Aaron, I really like the last line of this entry … “Or not…”
I use it on occasion and have found it effective in covering all my bases.
Well done.
It was really good–after I read it a couple times
Ha-ha. Thanks Rindy. I’m not sure it worked because the point I was trying to make wasn’t carried out. It was one of those moments that Bill Cosby called “Brain Damage”.

It just came out in a ramble. I’m still trying to figure it out
