before children's aversions,
my response to our collusion

Shut the bedroom door.

Thanks for joining us this week at Trifecta. I really liked your response. There is something so sweet about a love persevering in the face of. . .you know, kids. :-) That they can change you and create new roles for you, but at the end of the day, you still want to plop them in front of the TV to have some alone time with the person who came before them. Beautiful. Hope to see you back again soon.
