We've got a full sized four person tent in our living room because the kids were driving me insane (did I mention that we had SEVEN of them here for a while?) and I made that the "reading tent".
Me: "ITS QUIET TIME. NOW. Go grab a few books, settle in and we're ALL GOING TO BE QUIET AND STOP RUNNING AROUND for at least twenty minutes. THAT IS A FULL TWENTY MINUTES. For those of you who can't tell time, that means when the buzzer goes off on the stove. A full twenty..."
Small child: Does the buzzer mean cookies are ready?
Me: No. I will be sitting and resting too. With a book. QUIETLY.
Small crying child: But...but does that mean we don't get cookies?
Me: Oh for Pete's sake
OTHER small child: Is Pete having cookies?
I love my kids.
