Since last week when Parker started this new "independance phase", Jon and I have been having a difference of opinion about how to discipline him. Jon is ready to ground him and I am ready to have a family conference to discuss his inconsiderate behavior. Ok, so that is extreme on both sides. But tonight as we were watching Home Improvement, (there was a time when we had a life) a conversation unfolded that accurately depicted our views on disciplining a child. Home Improvement was about Randy and Brad trying to raise money for a Children's Hospital and they decided to steal some of it to buy toys and Christmas presents. Here is our comentary:
Me: "Oh if Parker pulled something like that I'd be so mad!"
Jon: "What would you do?"
Me: "I went make him serve dinner at a homeless shelter on Christmas Eve. What would you do?"
Jon: (seriously) "I would make him go to a homeless shelter...to live"
I can't work with this!

That sounds exactly like something Devin would say!
