Today, my 4 y/o wanted to play the "no talking" game. The rules were, the
first one to talk or laugh, loses. He said "ready, set, go," and we started
the game.
Well, I didn't have anything in particular that HAD to be said, what with
being 44 and all. So in a few minutes, he says, "Mommy, another rule is,
when I whisper, you have to talk, and then you lose."
Nothing like stacking the deck in your own favor!

Where we are weak, harshness and fear will not make us strong;
where we are strong, gentleness and forebearance will not make us weak. --
