Beautiful Moments, Part TwoLast week I saw a helium balloon cross the road at the lights on a perfectly timed gust of wind. Today I saw four people trying to get into a GWiz electric car. They failed.
What's the best thing you've seen recently?

A couple of nights ago...My three daughters aged 7, 4 and 3 share a bedroom. All too often I find myself berrating them for calling down the stairs after they've been put to bed. They all know full well that Dad gets a bit cross at constant call-outs when they should be going to sleep.
A couple of nights ago, after the umpteenth interruption to my post-putting-kids-to-bed routine (folding clothes, tidying away toys, preparing tea) my 4 year old shouts from the top of the stairs- "Daddyyyyyyyyyyyy". I storm out of the sitting room to the bottom of the stairs- "WHAT IS IT NOW?" I roar.
"I just love you Daddy" she says, slightly nervously.
Heart is duly melted.
"Oh... OK. I love you too. Can you get back into bed now please?"

This happened to me alotit melted my heart the first dozen times, but then you quickly realize its a con to get another 5 mins out of you.

Yeah...I'm sure it's just another cunning ploy to buy more time. They can get pretty creative with their excuses, but this one caught me totally off guard :)

Don't you hate it when they do that?I always feel such a fool. And a big meanie, too.

Yes...I did feel like a bit of an ogre. For a moment I wandered what I must have looked/sounded like and it wasn't pretty.
