Sometimes you gotta laugh

I shouldn't have laughed. Jeff was making a point. But I couldn't help it. It was too funny not to laugh.

Biscuit was stomping his foot into a box of cars - repeatedly.

"Stop stepping on those cars, or I'm going to take them away," I said to Biscuit. "You have to take care of your toys if you want to keep them."

"Yeah, Biscuit," Jeff said. "Toys are a privilege not a right."

I just cracked up. I'm not sure why that struck me as so funny, but the way Jeff said it was just so serious. And he was pointing his finger at Biscuit, too. I just kept laughing.

Then Jeff said, "What?!? I'm parenting here!" Except to me, it sounded like Dustin Hoffmann in "Midnight Cowboy," "I'm parentin' heah!"

Sometimes you gotta laugh.
