7:10 AM: Finish this sentence “I never knew parenting would include ______________”. Sandy’s friend recently had an embarrassing moment in parenting when he took his son into the public restroom at Chili’s. His son was going #2 and was giving his dad a play by play of it through the bathroom stall door. We got some great, great calls from listeners on the same topic. One woman’s son was trying to set her up in the grocery store after her divorce. He went up to a man and asked if he was married, and he said “my mom is divorced” to the guy. Then he said to his mom” Mom, he’s single, turn around, turn around so he can get a look at you!”
7:20 AM: JB has gone soft on a punishment he gave his daughter and he doesn’t know if it’s smart or just plain, bad parenting. She was punished with a month of no TV for breaking the glass on their front door. Yesterday she asked if he could strike a deal with her because a month is a long time. JB agreed to take some time off her punishment if she’d go run the 3 mile loop with him at Town Lake. She did it and thought it was fun, but prior to that she was dreading the run.

We’ll be happy to play them for you on KEYE so your kid can learn the hard way just like Raleigh did!
