Parenting makes you grow old quick.

I love all four of my children very much, but thanks to them I got old. However, I have to admit that I did enjoy yelling at them for all the little things they did. Here is one of my favorite memories in the supermarket:

James and Bill were fighting over who would get to pick out the candy at check out. They finally worked up my nerves and I got their attention by screaming to the top of my lungs, "QUIT FIGHTING YOU TWO OR I'LL RAISE MY VOICE!"

Everyone stopped and stared, and who was embarrassed? Not me, them! To this day I take great pride in my ability to embarrass my kids in public. Hey, if they don't want to listen to mother, then mother will publicly humiliate the hell out of them.
