The Richmond's

Today Maddie disappeared upstairs and returned to me with a chocolate marshmallow bunny saying "my belly hurts and this is what will help". Oy, what a character!

Once again I am going to make an attempt at keeping up with the blogging world. I know, I say it again and again, who knows how long this run will last.

It seems the popular thing with kids to say these days to their parents whenever they get mad at them is "I'll call the police and you will go to jail" --kids have no fear, they know that if they did call the police chances are we would go to jail because thanks to people that take punishment to the extreme we aren't allowed to really punish our kids or make them accountable for their actions. Well, it seems to be happening in our house now, I have no idea where Maddie learned it from but whenever we try to punish her, make her listen, tell her she can't do anything she responds with either "your mean" or "you'll go to jail" Good grief, what does a 4year old know about jail? I was expecting this to come out of her mouth at some point but so early? Come on, seriously, sometimes it seems like she is so far ahead of her time. If I would have said that to my parents when I was growing up they would have dialed the number and given me the phone! LOL!!!
