  • Chewlee Needs A *Map*...

    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    This is a new one on me.  Today, after being chastised for the fourth or fifth time for misbehaving, Chewlee looked at me and told me in a desperate voice, *I don't know how to behave, Grandma, because you never made me a map so I will know how to be good.*  Huh??? 

    I really and truly don't know where that came from.  I did tell her once that, if she wanted, we could make up a list of things she shouldn't do but I added that it wouldn't do her any good because she doesn't know how to read yet.

    Now think about this....even if I do draw up a list, if she does something I didn't think of, she can blame me because it's *not on her list*.  I think I can't win this one.  Anyone got any suggestions.  Or, perhaps, got a few ideas for *THE LIST*?  This could end up being a VERY long list. 

    Love you all.  Sorry this is so short but you can perhaps imagine the type of day we had here at the Brat Farm that the subject even came up.  Poor Baron was so upset with her, he damn near bit her!    Needless-to-say, this was not one of her better days.

    Take care.  Drive carefully.  It's a brand new week and you are starting off fresh.  If someone annoys you or makes you made, count to ten then take several deep breaths.  Don't ever react in anger.  That way lays danger.
