Why is "No" easier than "Yes"?


This lovely drum set is right over our bedroom. Right. Over. Our. Bedroom. It deserves emphasis. When the boys play in their studio (which is right over our bedroom), we hear every lovely note and every discordant squeak. It's like that in so many areas in our lives. It seems as if it's easier and less painful to tell them "No"... you can't play in the rain, you can't sleep out in the back yard, you can't make cookies....


Oh, little mother, when will you learn that "Yes" is just as easy to say as "No"? Practice, practice, practice...saying "Yes"...
