parenting on the oregon trail
Today we decided to plant flowers in our back yard. Clearly, our child was vexed greatly by our decision and he howled like a rabid coyote all the way to the godforsaken nursey to buy said flowers, during which time, SD said to me:
Do you think kids on the Frontier behaved this way?
Me: Hmmmm.
SD: I bet not. Because their parents said, "Pipe down, I've got to go fight wolves in the wilderness."
Ahhhh, the good ol' days.

I bet Eli loved helping to plant the flowers better than going to buy them!! I bet pioneer children didn't get a chance to howl over things like that!!! Glad none of us were in those days. Anxious to see pictures of the gardening session. Love you.
Hahahaaa. Y'all are insane! I mean that in a good way!
Lol. At least he didn't say "pipe down or I'll feed you to the wolves in the wilderness" :)
