My wife is in the middle of a Mexican standoff in the church nursery.
Our two year old got mad and threw a cup of animal crackers on the floor.
My wife refuses to leave until she picks them up. My daughter refuses to clean up until we promise her a cake pop and Bluey at home.
My wife (former Marine) is the most stubborn mom on the planet. My daughter (personality of an ISIS prison guard) will happily scream for hours on end.
I just dropped off a peppermint mocha for my wife. She’s digging in and playing the long game. Our pastor offered to broker a truce, but he left when the toddler hurled an elephant cookie at him, grumbling that our denomination doesn’t pay well enough to deal with situations like this (which is totally fair).
Will keep everyone apprised. If there are any hostage negotiators here with experience defusing toddler meltdowns, please reach out.
@BillAdairDuke bud you’re makin great points on Amanpour…but like ya don’t need 5 copies of ya book right behind ya my guy. Looks a bit 😬 add your other books or some other great novels. It just gives off a bit too much patting yourself on the back
I was indoctrinated into being a liberal in high school and college.
It happened when I was taught history, the basics of government, and critical thinking.
Really sinister stuff.
