Posted with the approval of my eldest daughter (the protagonist in this anecdote)
(the title was her idea!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lately, my angel of a daughter has been having not-so-angelic fits.
I called her in, to talk with her about her recent behavior. She expressed her frustration as well.
She recognizes that sometimes our conflicts are a result of her fits. She also thinks that sometimes our conflicts are a result of my fits.
I acknowleged that she might be right.
She suggested : "I'll make with you a deal: You do everything I want, and I won't do fits."
We both had a good, healthy laugh at that!
Then, I suggested the opposite: that my daughter do everything I want, and I won't do fits.
She liked the first option better.
Please daven (or send happy, healing thoughts) for RivkA bat Teirtzel.
With love and optimism,
RivkA

:D That is a great story!! It would be great if you could both get what you want all of the time.
This is a funny story, I remember many years ago as a newlywed I said to my husband "if you would just do what I told you we would never argue"......:-) Hugs
