Seldom and Never

The random ruminations of a father of two, who rarely has time to post. (I'm trying, okay, and don't quote Sean Connery to me).

Matt, go mow the grass! Then, you can take out the garbage... this message sponsored by the CMSC Better Living committee

Perspective provided

The same air mattress has been inflated in our living room (den?) since Grandaddy left. We were all bouncing on it (Mommy, Mattdaddy, Gabe and Abby) when Gabe got a little overstimulated. He grabbed a block and threw it directly into Mattdaddy's head. After yelling in pain, I sent Gabe to the corner. As he stood sullenly in the corner, I remarked to Carmom "I sent him so I could count to ten and not kill him." Which promptly induced a quiet "one, two, three..." from the corner. Carmom and I hid our laughter until he got to 13, and let him out of the corner with a somewhat non-stern admonition not to throw blocks.
