My attempts to establish a pecking order have not always been successful. When Griffin has been misbehaving or "Going Postal" I have stooped down at his level looked him in the face and with a very stern voice said, "I am the mother, I am in charge." Much to my chagrin he opens his eyes wide, stares me back in the eyes and replies, "I am THE Griffin, I am in charge!"
Yesterday I had plans of leaving for Yogurt after getting kids ready for bed. I had told Griff 10 minutes earlier, "You are so Handsome." He replied earnestly, "I am so handsome." Sure enough as I was about to leave he begged to come. I said something like, you need to go to bed I can't bring you. He said, "But I am so Handsome." Who can argue with that logic? Off we went.
