How to make your children love you

Go out and buy them a $10 used slide on craigslist, even if it doesn't fit in your car's trunk and you have to make the man you just bought it from tie it down for you. This will make your children happy and pleasant to be around.*

* This effect is, unfortunately, only temporary. And some fighting will occur as a natural result of the acquisition of a new toy.

Bonus: How dads can make their children happy while the moms are away on a long run.

See how easy it is?

I love this slide- it looks like so much fun!

nice find! My kids STILL climb on theirs EVERY day. How many years have we had it. Best purchase.

Kathleen said...

Oooh, you found one, looks great! How fun, even with the occasional fight over who goes first or second, right? ;)

Yep a slide and sugary treat will brighten my day anytime--well, the sugary treat at least!

I think a slide is the FIRST PURCHASE we will make upon our move to NC. Maybe even before we buy a house! :)

PS - Steve makes his child happy by not making her go to bed until 10:30 because she "told me she wasn't tired" at 7:30. Uh huh --- guess who got to deal with that one the following day when daddy was on call.
