Just Let hem Play

Me: "Hon, get the kids. They're running, and being crazy, and yelling." Him: "They're fine. What do we expect? They are with all of their cousins." Me: "I know, its just that they're going to end up hurting someone, and then its our kids' fault...and we are at a nice dinner." Him: "They're fine. They're kids. They're having fun. Besides, how do we stop them?" And I know he is right. I think. I mean I don't know. There is etiquette, and then there is also reality and what is even reasonable to expect from a 2, 4 and 6 year old. And then there is also this little voice in my head that says, "what if I croak tomorrow, I really don't want my kids to remember me yelling at them." But there is also the likelyhood that I will live a bit longer and very likely end up with crazies for kids if I don't instill some etiquette. So, tonight I drew the line at wrestling. I think that's pretty fair.
