Tone

Todd calls this forced child labor, but I call it fun child labor. It's all in your tone. Todd lovingly taught me about tone when we were first married. I wasn't so good at tone, and still fall short. He would rank me every night on a 1-10 scale based on my tone and bossiness. Doesn't this sound like Blynn?

I excitedly asked the kids if they wanted to have a lot of fun and ice skate in the kitchen and they were game. I had enough junk washcloths for all of them, and they were having so much fun that we even did the bathrooms. We even ended this fun time with eating prunes. Yes, something else that you have to get really excited about and use an energetic tone. You'd think I was offering them candy. My nephews even ate theirs, which is actually a miracle. So by the end of the day, I have clean floors and the kids have clean bowels. Two things to cross off today's list.
