My 6-year-old stuck a green plastic ball into his ear on a dare. The ER couldn't get it out. The ENT did. He never did it again. Parenting is something else.
Go Fly A Kite
It was such a lovely day when we got home that at 4pm, I decided it was a good idea to get the kids back in the truck and drive to the city park and fly our kites.

My patience is finite, and its limits are being tested today.

He then looks at me expectantly like “isn’t that correct?”. WTF?
