Sometimes, a parent has to do what a parent has to do!

Life can be tough, and life with children is no different. Sometimes, all that a parent wants is a moment of peace and quiet. Here is one simple trick that works well for us.

DEAD DONKEY

Every once in a while, we treat the Hive account@little-peppers, and ourselves, to some quiet time by telling them it is time to play "dead donkey." Basically, they lay on the floor and act like a dead donkey. Thankfully, dead donkeys do not make any noise, and they also do not move.

The children have fun and we get a quick breather when needed. Interestingly enough, it had been so long, I forgot all about the game until just the other day when Hive account@mama-pepper told the kids it was time to play "dead donkey."
