  • Are you a role model?

    So I unbuckled the seat belt a little earlier than I should have this evening, as we were rolling into the garage. Behind me came a similar click… the boy had followed my example. I told him that I made a mistake, and that he needed to wait until we were fully stopped. His response?

    You shouldn’t do it because then I’ll do it. You made me do it.

    Hmmmm.

    Do as I say, not as I do. It’s tough to be caught as a hypocrite by someone under the age of four!
