The Ballard Bunch

Hot off the presses, peeps!

Tatum's throwing a tantrum {surprising}
She's unreasonable and inconsolable {shocking}
After time out and discussion, she's calmed down a bit {finally}
I explain to her why I was upset and why she was in trouble {calmly}
And thus the following conversation {amusing}

"Tatum, bottom line is you were acting like a brat..."
"Mom, I'm not a brat. They're just dolls."
"Tatum, you were being rude."
"But mom, brats aren't rude, they're not even real. And I am real."

I know you shouldn't laugh while you're trying to discipline your child, but come on!
Sometimes you can't help yourself.
