    Is that a Chinese Haiku? or just random words and thoughts….. forgive me, for I am a numbers guy.

      Tanka is a Japanese poetry form consisting of five lines and 31 syllables. It traditionally focuses on the simplicity of a moment. But #4 doesn’t give a crap about that. He just chose it because it alliterates with “Tax.”

    Looks like he’s using his X ray vision…to look right into your soul. Better get the milk. Quick.

      Not sure how it is for Taz, but our fourth gets whatever he wants whenever he wants because it’s just easier.

    Hysterical! I bet he is a riot. Reminds me of my son a few years ago!

    He looks like he means business…I’d give him the milk….

      I tried to dig my heels in for a couple days about the chocolate milk thing, but now I just mix up a sippy the night before, stick it in the fridge, and hand it to him before he can even open his mouth.

        Smart….very smart!!!! We had the chocolate syrup vanilla soy milk crazed spawn for a while – she was so skinny we just wanted to get something in her – she didn’t/doesn’t like food (now she’s 7 and has no choice – dinner or starvation…).

    Another reason why you should be the Wyoming Poet Laureate.

    BTW, lovin’ the big boy ‘Roos. Has KAW done the ceremonial burning of the diaper bag and gone for her celebratory shopping for a real purse?

    Best Tanka ever.

    And I’ve seen that look on my kids before. Better just hand over the milk and back away slowly.

Say it don't spray it...
