If the kids are home from school, I put up a little placard type thing, that says "Shhhh...Thinking." It used to say "writing," but my children would see me not typing and assume it was safe to engage conversation...usually by starting a fight. The fifteen-year-old gets smart and writes notes like "STOMP, STOMP, YELL, YELL. AM I BEING TOO LOUD?" His life span isn't looking very long.<br /><br />Thanks for popping in to my blog.
