On the way home from the grocery story today, the kids were acting up. Carena was pestering Jonathan, Jonathan was yelling at and trying to hit Carena, and Colt was describing his farts. I had had enough and said, rather firmly, "Once we get home, you're all going to go to bed early if you don't shape up!"
Silence.
The silence was broken with Jonathan piping up and saying, "I've got dibs on being a circle!"
