Teaching the Art of Parenting

After the boys refused to clean up and were sent to bed Tess and I sat down to have a treat, since her room was spotless. I got down her Halloween candy and she picked out a couple pieces and then I got down Tate's candy and picked a couple for myself. "Are you eating Tate's candy?" she asked me. So I clued her in. "Yeah. After the kids go to bed Mom and Dad eat their candy. Your candy too."

And she chuckled. No crying, just chuckling, "That's very sneaky Mom."
