Why is it that it only takes a minute and a half to teach kids bad habits, but a lifetime to teach them good ones?? Joe taught Magnus to stick out his tongue a couple day ago. It only took a few tries, too. Magnus thought it was a great achievement! (And Joe did too, actually...) We were all sitting on the front porch steps together after the "lesson", and up walks Gunther (the dog). And of course, Magnus saw Gunther's big pink tongue nestled in between all those canine teeth and couldn't resist showing off his new trick by hanging his tongue out too! Then he smiled like a hero! I'm going to request that from now on "daddy" is only allowed to teach such things as scripture verses & nursery rhymes, ABC's & 123's. NOT things like sticking out your tongue, jumping on the bed (or off the house, or out of an airplane) tracking mud on the carpet, & wiping grease on your pants... Did I forget anything?
