Going to be babysitting a 3-year-old tonight. My daughter’s convinced I can handle anything with the “Mom Voice.” Truthfully, I am not so sure. The 3-year-old in question does not know me very well. A very small kid who doesn’t know you is more likely to totally freak out than obey. I’m hoping he’s in bed and stays there, to tell you the truth. But the two of us will work it out somehow.

I don’t mind being an honorary Grandma. It saves me a lot of frazzle by making it possible for me to keep insisting I’m not old enough to be a real one.

Hope you'll recommend my posts via your favorite social media. Just don't copy the material as your own.
