The earring part at the end - dying! My son did that at 2.5 - he took my husband's wedding ring and put it in a makeshift "stocking" (ie - sock on a string) he "made" at the holidays. We looked EVERYWHERE, and even bought him a new ring, only for our kiddo to surface it in January as a present for daddy🙃
Such a specific kind of comedic genius here... And exactly the kind I can relate to! My 3 year old's current bedtime routine is two books, two songs, "stay for a few minutes," "hold my hand," (note: hand holding can SOMETIMES happen concurrently with "stay for a few minutes," only after intense negotiation), multiple exploding fist bumps and - newly added, and hilariously appropriate for this theme - a firm handshake.
I'll be sharing this on Teams to help my colleagues understand why I'm fresh out of diplomacy by the time I get to my computer every day.

A handshake! 😂
CRYING with laughter. Love this so much.
Top notch conflict resolution. Kudos all around, esp Grey Bunny work behind the scenes.
Your stuff is the best! Laughing out loud over here

Best email thread ever read
Love this! I had some pretty elaborate bedtime routines for my now teenagers.
I did a passive-aggressive email post recently (a passive-aggressive email to my friend who suggested I write a passive-aggressive email as a blog post to tell her it wasn't a good idea for a post). https://open.substack.com/pub/heidichong/p/in-regards-to-your-recommendation?r=2s9s2e&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Wow. That little perisher is gonna rule the world some day...
