Also, these comments have prompted me to reinstate my objection to our children accompanying you anywhere this summer, despite the 20% chance they will escape uninjured. Again, nothing personal, just prudent thinking. Safety first. Very funny comments, Tom.

Paula Poundstone had a great story about bad parenting at her show we went to recently. After a week of asking her son very politely to pick up the sock he dropped in the middle of the living room, she finally yelled at him to "Pick up the f****g sock!" I turned to Aaron and said- I'm going to say those exact words in 7-10 years. I haven’t forgotten one of the boys yet, but I did leave the dog tied up outside the bank.

Here are a few gems from my past: * Riding Honey on the trail-a-bike that wasn't exactly 'attached' * Letting Hot Wheels brush his teeth for the last 12 months (unintended) * Making Honey ride her bike up a drainage ditch (she was 6) and then watching her panic as she rolled backwards down into the embankment I wish my bad parent days were as ‘bad’ as yours.
