Decision Time

Parenthood is full of little dilemmas. For instance, Eva has begun repeatedly pulling her glasses off again. She's figured out how to pull them up and off over her head so she can play with them. Do I simply put them back on over and over again and distract her with other toys, hoping she'll tire of the game? Or do I try a little aversion therapy by flicking her little hand when she does it? If you have ice cream and other groceries melting in the trunk, and a crying baby with a poopy diaper in her car seat, which one do you take care of first? Do you throw the groceries in the freezer while she cries, or do you let them melt while you change her diaper? Every parent has to wrestle with these and a hundred other issues, and as soon as you've got one settled, another quandary pops up.
