Parenting Lesson #41

Parenting Lesson #41

Today I delivered a between 5-10 minute lecture to my children about not throwing food in the sink since the disposal was broken. After trying to keep their attention for longer than 2.2 seconds, during my "lecture",  I  fixed the sink in approximately 2 minutes.  It was only then that I realized and laughed at myself because I realized that  a lecture is not effective when it takes 2 minutes to unclog the sink and repair the disposal. My wife and I had a good laugh!
  Lesson Learned: Parenting is about figuring out what is worth a lecture.
