just counting votes, it’s 2 to 1 , preteen loses

They are just age-ists, kdiaphobes.

Democracy – Three wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for lunch. I’ll take a representative republic anytime!

Parents rule!!!

Tony asked, about 6 hours ago

Sleepy?

Yes.

No, I just woke up.

This never worked for Calvin either.

@Tony:

Not after a good night’s rest. I’m wide-awake now, eating a good breakfast, and pondering today’s…

Second “Daddy’s Home” Question:

As a child, was your bedtime “too early”?

@TonyNot right now, I got up about 40 minutes ago.

Nah. Got the first 4 coffees down.

Reading the comics and drinking my first cup of coffee……slowly waking up.

Mt bedtime as a child was “half-past Milton Berle”. When the Texaco man came on, I had to go to bed. (Boy! Am I old!)

Families are not democracies as far as children go. At best very limited one.

goodness sure am glad that is not my kid.

I always told my kids, "you have to go to bed, but you don’t have to go to sleep. They were always asleep in a few minutes!
