Jack was really whiny just before dinner the other night. Our friend Pete was coming over, and it was a little chaotic. I kept saying "Jack, you have to quit whining." Jack: "But I'm hungry....." Me: "I am not giving you a snack because we are eating in ten minutes, but I will get you a glass of milk. But you have to stop whining." I opened the refrigerator. No milk. Well, no white milk. So the boy got chocolate milk to reward him for his whining. I went back to setting the table, and when I came back to the kitchen, Jack said -- in a completely amazed tone -- "Mommy, the chocolate milk DID stop the whining!"
Uh oh.
Amidst the chaos, there is peace. Well, not really peace, but lots of laughter.
