Sometimes it comes back to bite you

Teaching your kids sounds great until they use it on you to call you out. For example, today Amelia told me that, "MOM, chips and chocolate milk is not OK for a lunch. Those are treats and you have no vegetables". I asked her if I added some grapes to my plate if that would be OK. She was not impressed. I guess I have Amelia to thank for watching my vegetable intake now.

That is perfect! Too bad we have to teach them to talk, eh?

I have thought about the day this will happen a lot. I'm always telling Russ he can't have a cookie or treat before lunch or dinner. Who am I kidding? I eat treats whenever the heck I want. Usually while I'm making dinner.
