Just had an epiphany this morning, if I answer one of the kids' questions with "No, because ..." with any kind of good reason, tears and arguments naturally follow. Answer with ONLY the reasoning and they walk away happily. Hmmm, must. remember. this.
J: Mommy, is it okay if we have a tattoo (fake of course)
Me: sure kiddo
J: mommy, is it okay if we have 2 tattoos?
Me: just one for today
J: okay (Trot Trot Trot down the hall to tell Sis)
