Francie was in one of her Moods last Friday. She had to spend an hour in the principal's office when she wouldn't sit in her seat in class, even after being moved to another table.
She was a maniac in the car after school.
We went to Turkey Supper at church, and I made her stay with me the whole time. I knew that in her condition, to let her wander around more than two feet away from me would invite disaster. At one point, I took her into another room and made her stand against the wall for a few minutes to calm down. Then we went back out into the main room where everyone was eating.
When we came into the main room, Fred said, "How come whenever you get done punishing her, she looks happy and you look terrible?"
Apparently when we came out after The Time-Out Against the Wall, Francie was grinning and I looked like I'd just been run over by a truck. Yeah, well, welcome to my world.
