What do you do when you’ve told your kid to go take a bath several times nad he’s still lounging around in underwear reading a graphic novel about Elizabeth Cady Stanton? Baaaaath time! I mean it this time! In! The ! Bath! Five minutes later it’s all about Cady Stanton again. Oh okay! I see how this is gonna roll!
VOTES FOR WOMEN! I sream belligerently. That got his attention.
Then…
BATHS FOR KIDS! I yelled as if directing a protest march right into the tub and yet also into some far distant utopian future. BATHS FOR KIDS!!!!
Moomin cracked up and got in the tub. I felt super happy to have the sort of kid who reads and ignores me. This shows a proper respect for authority!

I've been lurking in and out for a while, enjoying your site. Must say I feel a strong resonance with this post…we have cracked ourselves up around here, he and me, when we catch each other's eye after saying "would you put that book *down* already?" or "that's enough piano; get outside."Seriously.But it's usually the book thing. I agree, respect is directed appropriately.
