#19: Tranq Them All!

The only thing worse than being sick is being sick with a house full of rowdy kids and a man who can’t wrangle them. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been lying in bed with a migraine, and my kids walk right past dad to come all the way upstairs and ask for juice. It’s ridiculous.

I don’t think I’d tranq them, per se, but it is a very tempting offer. Maybe I can just hold the tranq dart and point it at the door and use my pleasant voice when they walk in. No yelling, just a very concise “If you ask me for juice, you’re taking a nap right now, on the floor. Back away from the bedroom door slowly and go ask your dad.”
