We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident
Growling at the dinner table does not endear you to your dining companions.
Wine is not an acceptable beverage for a toddler. Neither is coffee.
Circular saws are not appropriate toys for two-year-olds.
Spitting on the coffee table is not okay.
Head-butting the baby is absolutely not okay.
Likewise kicking.
Screaming at full volume in the house is not pleasant for anyone else in the house.
Dogs do not appreciate having handfuls of fur forcibly removed from their bodies by small fists.
Self-evident . . . unless you're two years old.

I find myself saying sentences as a parent that I would have never thought would escape my lips.
Such as:
When you poop you can have junior mints.
and
There will be no more Puss in Boots!
Enforcing the law is such a hassle....
