How to Discipline your Child with a Banana

By Cindy Adams Mother of three
First: Catch child playing with Banana after they brake it open. Then: Tell child they should eat it so it doesn't go to waste. Next: Tell them they must eat it before they can go to the Party. After that: Watch child choke & gag on perfectly good banana as if it were rotten. Then: Endure lots of crying & whining. Last: Do NOT give in.

If you can't tell, Grace and I had an altercation over a banana this morning... I won. :)

HI Cindy! I got your message on classmates and was so surprised to hear from you. I was thinking about you a couple of months ago while visiting Salt Lake. I am so glad to see you so settled and happy. I am still in Colorado and I manage a retail store. I would love to catch up and hear how your family is doing. You were all a huge part of my childhood! You can reach me at 303 521 8999 kelbell_cu@hotmail.com or through facebook. I look forward to catching up on life!

Way to go mommy! It seems they win all too many battles because they have more energy to fight them!
