I Remember When Kids Were Allowed To Be Kids

I know what you mean. I don't have pics of my kids, looking like this, but I have memories.

@Serenitree: That's because you were a good mom and cleaned your kids up instead of wasting time gathering evidence to hold over them for all eternity!!! 😠

@sarabee1995: no, that's because it was at a time when I had no camera. By the time I got a camera, my kids had grown beyond this stage.

@Serenitree: I think I'm gonna stick with my explanation! You were nice and my mom is mean! (Just kidding, she's awesome!)

@sarabee1995: oh, but I did clean my kids up, once I could stop either laughing or crying, depending on what else was going on that day

@sarabee1995: she'd have to be awesome, to think about taking your picture, instead of tanning your hide.

@Serenitree: Lol, she never tanned my hide, but the threat was always there and I'm sure I deserved it many times. But she never did.

@sarabee1995: I didn't either. I was more of a yeller.

@Serenitree: Ohhh ... I would have preferred that. She would stare at me and shake her head. I would just crumble. I really hated disappointing them.

@sarabee1995: yeah. My parents were like that. They could turn me to jelly with a sad disappointed look. They never hit me, and rarely raised their voices, but I always knew when I had let them down.

@Serenitree: Yup, exactly. And to let them down is awful.

@sarabee1995: how do you know? you're just a kid yourself. baaahahahahahahahaa

@agreatday: How do I know what? That letting down my parents is awful?? Because that's how it makes me feel.😟

@agreatday: that's how she knows. She is a kid. She has seen the look on her parents faces when she's let them down. How could she not know?

@sarabee1995: I was just trying to make a little joke. I didn't mean anything sarcastic, honest.

@Serenitree: Thanks mom! 😁

@agreatday: No problem pops! 😝

@sarabee1995: you're welcome Sarabee
@agreatday: joking often relies on facial expression and tone of voice to be recognized. Sorry. I didn't mean to jump on you.
