| NOTE |
i'm just glad my children aren't exhibiting behaviors that look like we're heading down this path. and i'm not being totally facetious here because i think that conversation in our house five years from now would happen amidst swings, kicks and scratches. and when it does start, i may wear a cup as part of my standard attire, you know, so i can be the most effective parent possible. |
