what moms and dads do when the kids are gone...

SuperGirl and Pickles were trying real hard to get to go spend the night at Grammy's house this weekend. They had all kinds of reasons for us to go... there's a 4H dance this weekend and Hubby and I could go dancing... we could get a good night's sleep because SuperGirl wouldn't be able to crawl in bed with us... and my favorite, "Moms and Dads just need to be alone sometimes."

I was curious how they knew so much about Moms and Dads so I questioned them further. I asked, "WHY do Moms and Dads need to be alone, without the kids around?" They just kept saying, "Because," and, "Well, because it's good for you to be together without us around." I still wasn't satisfied with that and pressed further...

"Why do you REALLY think Mom and Dad need to be alone, all night, without you kids around? What will we do that we can't do when you guys are here?"

And sweet, silly SuperGirl replied, "You can watch cop shows!"
