That was the cost of 1 week of pure bliss for Mindy and I.
Garrett (8) dominates our family life. This little guy is a force of nature. If he is happy life is good. But if he decides to have a little fun with us we spend our nights reading parenting books convinced we have failed miserably.
Garrett is not swayed by many threats or enticements, leaving us with few means of influence. But last week we discovered one - that cost me $8.99.
An iPad game that Garrett desperately wanted. When I saw the price I balked but after being pestered relentlessly, one of his key strengths, I relented with a proposal I was sure he couldn't keep.
One week of good behavior.
The little rascal came through with flying colors and we haven't enjoyed such family bliss in a long time.
Of course I never possessed his uncanny ability to act at either extreme at will.

This is the magical game
