We babysat all three girls tonight and they wore us down to a pulp. The teasing, the gnashing of teeth, the jumping on furniture, the consequent falling, the tears, the teasing each other more, the Alvin movie, the spilled drinks, Bruce saying "we will never do this again," my legendary, lengthy bedtime stories, more drinks, more bathroom visits, more pleading, and finally letting them give me a manicure in my bed - a bribe. If I would let them do it they said that they would go to bed without complaining.
My nails are now filed down to a nub. It was worth it.
