A public service announcement.
Wednesday, May 7, 2008
For those of you contemplating buying a swingset for your children, I suggest that you get one with at least one more swing than the number of children you currently possess.
That way, if your older daughter brings a friend home and they head out to the TWO swings, the younger daughter won’t feel left out and therefore feel compelled to climb to the top of the swingset and release the swing chain so that the older sister goes tumbling to the ground.
No one would be hurt in such an incident, but it would be necessary for you to then punish the younger child but also remind the older child to stop being such a bitch to her younger sister.

And I am sure said child wouldn’t even have thought of swinging until other child and friend started. I have to say, she was ingenious..if she couldn’t swing neither could her sister

Lol! Is it bad that I’m a little bit proud of your younger child for her clever and devious thought process?

Which is why our swingset is GINORMOUS for people living in the country. Just in case.

OK, I am a little bit in awe of Elegant’s thought-process…but totally in support of your punishment.

Wow, that was genius! Yeah, she should have been punished, but still!
