Until, your kid comes back with a smart ass remark and you can't rebuttal.
A's class has a color code for behavior. Green is great. Yellow is needs to improve and use caution. Red is the worst you can get.
Me: Allie, why did you get yellow today?
Allie: I talk too much.
Me: You really need to work on that. (add a bunch of other parenting advice here)
Allie: Well, I can't control my mouth. You understand. You talk too much too. You can't control it either.
Me: :crickets:

Re: Honesty, is the best policy.
Me: Allie if you could have a super power, what would you have?
A: the ability to close my eyes and change all if your no answers to yes. You never let me do anything. 8-}
My 3 year old told me the other night very dramatically that I "never let her do anything". I swear I had flash forward to about 13 years old..... oy.
