I was so very afraid
To tell her NO!
Afraid she'd rave
And rant and cave
My heart in with her
Discontented glares
Of mass destruction
So I put it off
Agonizing
Til the very last moment
Only to discover
In those beautiful eyes
An underwhelming understanding
Bejeweled by a whimsical smile
As if she knew
All the while
The answer should be NO!
And was glad I cared
To finally join her....
To tell her NO!
Afraid she'd rave
And rant and cave
My heart in with her
Discontented glares
Of mass destruction
So I put it off
Agonizing
Til the very last moment
Only to discover
In those beautiful eyes
An underwhelming understanding
Bejeweled by a whimsical smile
As if she knew
All the while
The answer should be NO!
And was glad I cared
To finally join her....

Not being a parent I find this a little bit entertaining and enlightening. I think kids always know when the answer should be know, but they always push the envelope to see how far they can go. Of course they hope you'll say no, but all too often they don't hear it. It's a double edged sword of thinking their parents don't care and "yippee" I'm getting over on them. Better to say no because they are gonna break the rules but at least they will feel loved.

Parenthood is a swift kick in the butt, but it is entertaining.... throw single motherhood into the mix... and you got .... Well it ain't the Brady Bunch😊
I was just reading a behind the scenes article on how the Brady Bunch was not the Brady Bunch off camera. Greg and Marcia were dating in real life and disrupting the set, among other things... even Bobby and Cindy were caught kissing on set when they were 9. lol
