    Did anyone else have a " naughty chair " ? I remember spending a lot of time in mine.

    For once, Ruthie is more sensible than I was at her age.

    I hated going to the store with my mom as a kid. It was such a bore! Waiting for her in the fitting room was torture. I don’t blame Ruthie for wanting to get the excess energy out first.

    Ran into a friend of mine ages ago in a department store where she was nose to nose with her daughter (then about 7 or so). Mom was hissing angrily under her breath, “Do you want to go to the bathroom!!?” Girl, terrified, just recoiled slightly from mom, eyes almost bulging out, and shaking her head no rather intently. At that point mom realized I’d witnessed the scene; she explained that, with all the self-appointed nannies out in public, taking her girl into the bathroom was the only way she could administer any discipline when they were out. By the time I encountered this demonstration, apparently the threat alone was sufficient for the girl to shape up.

    Ruthie: they’re fitting rooms, not throw a fit rooms.
