On well behaved kids

My kids, in the evenings, behave a little nuts. I am sure that you know what I mean…

So last night, as the 1 year old and 3 year old were running around and screaming, my 5 year old was sitting quietly on the couch. Once I was done passing out my usual “if you don’t stop that right now, I will have to punish you!”, or “don’t take that toy away from your brother!”, or “how many times have I told you not to spit in your hands and rub it all over your face??”, I look at my eldest and said “wow baby, thanks for behaving so good today!”, to which he very seriously responded, “it’s ok mommy, but you know, I am really just tired!”
