I can't HANDLE it...

If you haven't discovered the Pioneer Woman, you are missing out. Please google her and find her website. I really love her.

My favorite thing she has on her website lately is under her category of "Homeschooling".
The article refers to Jack Nicholson's character in "A Few Good Men" and his famous line "You can't HANDLE the truth!"

It was suggested that when you are feeling frustrated that you apply that famous line to your life.

For example:
" I can't find my pencil."

"You can't HANDLE the pencil!"

I'm about to try it out on my 3 year old. I'm about to say, "Bedtime."
She will say, "I don't want it to be bedtime."
I will reply, "You can't HANDLE the bedtime!"

I'll let you know how it works out.

With my luck the baby will wake up right then for a bottle and bedtime will be delayed.
Then she'll get to say, "You can't HANDLE the bottle!"
