But inevitably...
The next year you try again. Your kid is a whole year older, after all.
The conversation goes well. Sort of...
Then on December 1, it begins. Your kid is so happy to get a treat. But hey, you know what's even better than one treat? TWO TREATS. Or even... 24 TREATS! They're all just sitting there, waiting to be eaten. Plus they are hidden behind cute little tear-out doors or windows; or stuffed into cute little pockets. It's too much to take!
There is begging...
Singing...
Non-violent protesting...
Then at some point your child is left alone with the advent calendar. And that's when you start to receive these messages, yelled down the hall.
You know where this is headed. You know.
Twenty four calendars.

Love this! You just described my 3 year old to a T. By about half an hour into Dec 1, we had realized we can't leave him alone with the advent calendar. At all. Ever.
The picture of the kid hanging on to her mom's ankles made me laugh out loud! Well done.
