I am SO LUCKY!

Last week I was driving with just Ashley in the car.  She is growing up to be such a cool young woman.  First she explains to me, as I am exasperated with her brother's behavior, "Jen, its just I don't think Adam understands that he NEEDS consequences.  He thinks he can just say sorry and that's it.  He doesn't know yet that consequences help you learn not to do things again."

Really, you are awesome.

So then I tell her, "Ash, I am really lucky to have you and Laney as my stepdaughters.  You are some cool kids!"

She replies, "Yep, you are.  If you didn't have us then your life would probably be really BORING."

How right she is.
