parenting tip...har

If Mother Nature strands your piggish teen-age daughters at home for a second day AND you absolutely must go to work, I have a suggestion for you. Leave a LARGE note, in orange magic marker, taped to the kitchen cabinets reading:

Children who fail to rinse their dishes and place them in the dishwasher will be executed this evening.

It worked.

So it's not just boys who become piggish teenagers? Damn.

Due to holiday breaks and snow days, my kids have been in school ONE DAY in the past three weeks. I'm willing to try this tip.

Love it!

LOVE IT, but regrettably it would never work at my house. My teens are definately more pig headed.
