Growing up, my dad would always ask me how my day was. I’d say something stupid like “boring as usual”. He’d invariably respond with “Thank God for boring days”. I never really understood what he meant by that. 1/3
one strategy my wife and I have is letting our kids stay up late only if they're Reading. They feel like they're getting away with something by staying up, but they're doing exactly what we want most. We got them cool red reading lamps to make them feel cooler
