Letters from a Grounded 7-year-old

Hard to believe I even have a 7 year old. Hard to believe it's been more than a year since I've written here! But I have to share these laughs with you today.

Kaylin was grounded to her room today until it was clean. The half hour project turned into hours of despair and agony for this just-turned-7-years-old girl. She sent down notes to us via her brother or cousin Chaya:

To Dad: I love you! Please help me clean up!

To Mom: You hate me. You don't love me. You don't help me.

I wrote back: Kaylin - I love you more than you'll ever know. That's why I need to help you be responsible. I can't wait until your room is picked up so I can be with you while we put your laundry away. Love, Mom

She returned the note: (she crossed out the "love" in Love, Mom) You do not love me. You do not help me in my room.

Another note on another topic: Dad Kai hit me with a book and called me do-de-dutt. BE NISE KAI BE NISE
