"Mommy, I Hear the Music Truck!"



Was it SO wrong of me to tell my kids that the Ice Cream Truck was the "Music Truck"?

They believed me for YEARS!

Discipline when Daddy is a (former) teacher...

Have a nasty 'tude or bad behavior at my house and you will find yourself…

writing sentences

("There will be no more red ink in my binder reminder"=No more daily bad notes from teacher)

OR

writing an essay.
(I do not recall the infraction that this "S.A." was written for)



Wow, does it work magic. Things turn around pretty quickly!

Of course, my little angels are so wonderful that this rarely happens ;)



Do you have a special discipline trick up your sleeve?


*Parental Disclaimer: This fine tradition was started by fire hubby’s dad and did not scar him. Fire hubby went on to have such a love of writing that he got his Masters in English and became a professional writer!
