I was just soundly beaten at checkers by my 4 year old son because it is impossible to be "nice" in a game of checkers without being beaten. Badly.
My ego may never recover.
My closet is a mess because the low temperature in our area has fallen to the 50's. This of course necessitates North Pole clothing for outdoor expeditions by my younger set of kiddos. In all my years of parenting I have never found a way to keep mittens, scarves, hats, balaclavas, etc., from becoming part of the dress-up box with guns, capes, cloaks, and masks. I have found it impossible to keep all of the above organized. It's not even November and fingerless gloves are already weeping with their premature widowhood.
"That's o.k.," I told one son, "These gloves don't match because you are a soldier facing extreme battle conditions and your gear is worn out."

How do they learn that skeptical look so early?
