Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
My question:
Do you sometimes enjoy picking on your child?
My answer:
Tomorrow is Lucian’s 3rd birthday and he is very excited, especially about the wrapped gifts singing in the dining room in CARS themed wrapping paper. He is convinced they are all full of car or trucks. (There MAY be a couple of those.) My husband decided to tell him they were full of socks and underwear but my son isn’t sure if he is buying it. The funniest part is that because of his age he isn’t entirely opposed to socks and underwear. He did ask if there were shirts too. Anyway, it has been fun to tease him about it the last couple of days, just to see his reaction. He is too funny and sometimes picking on him is just a little too fun. So much so that my husband would like to pick up some socks and underwear and have him open them first. Hehehehehe

My family is always goofing around like that and no one is spared. So yeah, my daughter gets her share.

Absolutely, I think it’s a parental perk. LOL.
The other night my son overheard us saying there were Rice Krispie Treats for dessert. He finished his dinner and said “I’m ready for the Rice Krispie Treats.” We told him he had misheard and we were actually having nice crispy beans. The look of disgust was priceless. We let him believe it for a few minutes.

Oh sure, a little teasing in good fun is just that…FUN!

I love to tease my kids. All of them. The teens about their ugly boyfriends, the babies about where their siblings are… teasing them is fun! It also helps them get used to it.
Michelle says
Yeah, we tease our kids sometimes, my husband more than me though.

We joke around a lot but not really tease. I think??? lol
