Donut Lessons

by beth on July 13, 2009

You decide it will be fun to give your kids each 1 donut.  You then learn the following:

  • If you give each of your kids 1 donut they will each ask for a 2nd one.
  • If you say no to another donut because 1 donut is plenty of sug­ary sweets for the day & you have 3 kids you then will hear 3 kids cry for another donut.
  • 3 kids cry­ing for more donuts sounds like 6 kids cry­ing for more donuts.
  • I’m not sure why it sounds dou­ble, per­haps it’s the power the donut has over them. Mak­ing them super­hu­man in their cries.
  • You will then have regret over giv­ing any­one any donuts or try­ing to do any­thing fun.
  • You will promise your­self you’ll never do that again.
  • That is until you for­get & do it again.

Thanks for stopping by The Redhead Riter! To answer your question, after reading more about different platforms (after just jumping in without really reading much of anything) I liked that so many more features were available via wordpress.org & the ability to own my content to do whatever I want with it as part of being self-hosted. I like being in control or at least feeling like I have some control over something.

Ha-this is cute!
Donuts are WONDERFUL – but really, deep fried sugar? Is this really the best idea humans ever had??

No…but I love love love them.

Isn’t it crazy how their cries sound so much louder for donuts (or any sweets)? I had the same issue here today after I thought I was being nice and giving out small pieces of leftover cake from this weekend – how quickly I regretted that decision – lol!

That’s why you tell them you only have three. Wait, I think in the parenting handbook they say not to lie. Dang.
