    Was touch and go there for awhile but grandpa's secret family pizza recipe (aka Pappa John's ) seemed to do the trick.

    Even a toddler can be bought with pizza.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Too funny! Brought to his knees by a not-yet-two-year old! LOL!

    Reminds me of the first time her godparents watched my 10 month old. The father and I went out to dinner for perhaps 2 hours calling only once, being told, "Everything was fine! Got to go!"

    As we walked up to the front door, it opened and her godfather thrust the screaming child into my arms. He was nearly crying himself. Kendall of course stopped immediately and put her arms out to her godfather to take her back! LOL!

    She'd started crying as soon as we left. Nothing they tried would get her to stop, not even funny faces. Of course, once I was there, she thought her Uncle Gregg was hilarious.

    Needless to say, it took awhile for them to offer again.

    The oldest was fine. I used to babysit her regularly before I moved away. The toddler had not been left alone with me before. She settled down, then wouldn't let me out of her sight. They behaved fine. Until the parents came home. Then they went nuts.

    I adjusted my halo and pointed out they sure didn't act like that for me.

    First time my daughter KK left Caleb here for me to babysit it went well. So well for about 45 minutes then he discovered Mom was long gone. That boy cried for over two hours nonstop. He was severely attached to his Mom. She was about thirty minutes away in Memphis. I held out as long as I could but finally called her. Caleb had finally woke my son Justin up from his nap , he was sick and they both were crying. My daughter rushed back pick up my grandson and about 2 seconds after they went out of the house Justin stopped crying and acted as if nothing had happened.
    My wife came home about ten minutes later asking me how it went watching both kids.
    I told her like peaches and cream.
    She found out next day how it really went and laughed her ass off. -Tyr
