Reasons Why You Should Be Nice To Your Child...

Reasons why you should be nice to your child:

-They determine if you get to dream blissfully throughout the night or if you are sleep deprived at work.

-They decide if you get to browse through Target at your leisure or if you race through the aisles like you are being chased by a zombie grabbing any type of toilet paper and tampons you can get your hands on just to get you by for the next few days (until hopefully, your little one decides he wants to go shopping, happily).

-You’re child has the ability to get you to do anything he wants and get you to lose your better judgment (and I don’t say this one lightly- I once scooped an ice cream cone and let my child dip his chicken nuggets in the cone during dinner because he promised he would eat his dinner then.  Had I rethought this at the time, I should have been okay with Chase skipping his meal of nuggets and french fries for the night and I shouldn't have let my two year old negotiate with me but at the time I actually thought I was winning the battle-now I’m thinking I lost, big time.)   

-And most importantly, they determine which nursing home you will eventually reside in (and for that reason alone, I will treat my Chasey like a prince with the hopes that he won’t relocate me to “Shady Pines” when he is sick of changing my old lady diapers). 

Feel free to comment and add to this list.... 

Yup- my child is obsessed with skunks (not cute little puppies or kitties like normal kids), but I wouldn't expect anything less from my little sidekick.
