If I am in Charge Here, Why is Everyone Laughing?


The image on the left was taken on the banks of the Chilkat River just north of Haines, Alaska. The scene reminded me of what many supervisors (me included) and parents must go through from time to time. This being Father's Day, I thought of the many times discipline or direction had (or was perceived to) be given to children or employees. I remember well phrases like: "if you guys don't stop fooling around, I am going to stop this car right here and turn around!" We of course giggled and soon kept on doing what we were doing. Not to offend mind you, but because we were kids doing what kids do and we were probably bored sitting in a car for hours on end on our "vacation" trips.
Not exactly sure what the point of this message is for today, but something that just came to mind. I am off shortly to have a Father's Day breakfast with my wonderful daughter and unbelievably smart and precious grandson. That of course is a totally unbiased opinion:-))
Until next time, create the best life you can imagine.
Cheers

  2. Like this whole subject a lot!!! May just have to link it to my parenting site and yet, I believe that would be on my "tomorrow list" (LOL when I read your previous post on procrastination).

    Today, it seems more and more times it is the kids who are in charge as the parents scramble to get the upper hand. BTW I don't know who was in charge in our home...I'm just glad I get to call you my dad and friend today. Love you!!! Kelly
