It was not so long ago, that I realized that was a key part of my childhood that kids today miss out on. You see, when you knocked on your friends door, there was the possibility that they couldn't come out. Maybe it was supper time, or they had to clean their room. But you were told sorry, and that was it. You had to learn to deal with no, or not now, maybe later. With prearranged dates, kids today miss out on that lesson.

We do both...kids come to the door and ask if one of the kids (usually DD, as she is much more social) can come out and play and I rarely say no..I actually wish they'd go out more often. But we also do pre-arranged, and even then, sometimes it's "Not this week...you didn't clean up your stuff on the coffee table like I asked you to." or "No friends until your room is cleaned up." so they still learn the valuable lesson of "no". When I was growing up, the rule was that you didn't ask in front of the friend you wanted to play with. If I went and asked my mom if so and so could come over, I'd better not have So and so in tow, because mom thought that was REALLY rude and that would result in losing all friend privileges for a few weeks. I'm not that strict...other kids need to learn "no" too, and sometimes you just can't, even if it's just because mommy doesn't feel up to giggling munchkins today.

@Gabe1 , last Monday night, I barbecued hot dogs. Put slices of whole wheat bread (we don't use hot dog buns) on two plates -- 2 slices for hubs, and 1 slice on my plate, on the kitchen table. (Hot dogs were still finishing up on the grill outdoors.) Went upstairs for a few seconds jut to tell hubs that dinner was ready and when I came down, guess what dog STOLE AND ATE THREE slices of whole wheat bread in less than (no exaggeration) 10 seconds??!! :jawdrop: This is a new one even for Jack--whole wheat bread?! He must have inhaled the 3 slices, and he had the incriminating evidence of crumbs all over his goofy face--plus he dragged about a half of the last piece and ran with it--afraid I'd pull it away from him! That dog is very untrustworthy. :cautious:

Gotta love that doggie. Glad he didn't know hot dogs were coming later.;)

Love the ketchup/catchup comment. I'm new here, so I decided to jump in with both feet.

Speaking of feet, I have a Disney World trip coming up in just 53 days, so I bought some insoles for my not so old shoes, and I need to get walking.
