Is He the Child of a Lawyer and an English Major?
Is He the Child of a Lawyer and an English Major?
My son, who asked for a reprieve the other day, was just overheard by me having the following conversation with his sister:
"You have these options. You can get this book or this one or this one. Not that one! That's not one of your options!"
What is and is not the subject of the bargain must be clearly stated. Children his age make even better negotiators than lawyers.

I get a chuckle every time my youngster gives a sigh and eye roll just like his momma. When she's upset, instead of growling she'll just say out loud "GROWL!", so now the youngster does that as well.
Kids are funny that way.
