Count Me Out

I just reached another (dubious) milestone in parenting: I purposely miscounted the number of spaces in a kid’s turn at Chutes and Ladders in order to get that silly game to end!  There was no way I was going to let Susie slide all the way down when she was only a few turns from finishing, especially when it was already past bedtime.  I was just grateful the girls didn’t notice and correct my counting!

    When you’re a mother – there are many times when the ends justify the means!! Soon you won’t be able to get away with anything – so enjoy it while you can!

    Oh, so true!

    Ha ha! I did that when I babysat too. Or I’d turn two pages at a time in the books I was reading to them, but if they were really paying attention, I always got caught 😉
