Tonight was one of those nights when I felt like the kids were NOT listening and no matter what I said or did, they kept goofing off. I finally got all of their attention and we had a family conference right then and there. I told them that they needed to listen the first time, and do whatever it is that they were asked then, not later. I said, "I don't want our house to be filled with fighting and yelling, but instead I wanted it to be peaceful and fun"... etc. Carsten pipes up right in the middle of my rant about the things I didn't want in our house, and says "and no blueberries, right?" Immediately all the kids burst into laughter and cracked up.
What's funny about this? Carsten doesn't like blueberries, and I guess for him, having blueberries along with fighting in our house would be the worst of the worst!
Nothing like a kid to bring the seriousness of a situation around to laughter again. Gotta love 'em.
