The (Dreaded) Middle Name

Never thought I would do it ... but it happened today.

Griffin was misbehaving during storytime at the library and I said those dreaded words ...

Grif-fin Mi-chael ... Stop It!

I don't know how it happened ... it just did.

It's something I never thought I would do ... that's what "other" parents do ... not me. Ha! Yes ... I'm officially a parent ... I used the dreaded middle name when disciplining my child. Did it make a difference? Don't think so ...

Why do we think it will? Griffin ... Stop It! ... that just didn't seem like enough ... so there it was Grif-fin Mi-chael ... Stop It!

Anyway ... he stopped what he was doing and we moved on.
