Having children that are drama queens and kings, I found this hysterical! Well done!
Wonderful painting done with words.
Having been both the howler and the executioner, I can totally picture the whole scene. Love it!
Were you watching us behind those parted curtains? I know that you must be talking about us... Thank you for sharing.
Delightful! I seem to remember having similar reactions from two little boys years ago...
What a great take on bath-time! Now that my children are a bit older, I have the opposite problem...I can't seem to get them to turn off the shower!
