Whatever!

In order to understand today's post, you must read yesterdays. So not only did I buy into the whole "Elf on the Shelf" magic, I am completely abusing it. Usually when I drop AA and Li'l Man off at school, I drive all the way across town to Starbuck's to grab a cup of coffee. Nine times out of ten, I get half way there, and KK says she has to go "T-T" right then and she can't hold it. So this morning, I say, "Kit Kat, you need to go TT right now because we are going to get coffee this morning." She says, "I already did." I reply, "Did you really?" She nods her head "yes." I say, "If you're lying, the elf will know." She says, "Yes ma'aaaaaam", and heads off to the potty! It totally worked. I was thrilled. I don't know what I did before the elf, and I don't know what I'll do after the elf, but I am going to enjoy the next 2 and a half weeks. Like I said in yeesterday's post, I want my children to behave and be good for the simple sake of being good. But, I mean, whatever it takes.
