Never feed Gizmo after midnight.

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen Gremlins…It’s an old movie from the 80’s about “A boy (who) inadvertantly breaks 3 important rules concerning his new pet and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town.”

Malevolently mischevious monsters.

Hmmmm.

Suddenly I’m thinking about my week last week.

So the 3 important rules to always follow for Gizmo, the pet, are 1) no water, 2) no food after midnight, and 3) no bright light.

When the first 2 rules are broken, Gizmo multiplies and turns into an evil little gremlin.

All of a sudden, this:Becomes this:Reminding me of this:Causing this:

Whoever wrote this movie must have had a 2 and 3-year-old.

So I really have to think about how I contributed to the problem last week.

What are the 3 parenting rules that should always be followed, and which ones did I break?

When I figure them out, I’ll let you know.

Right now, I hear a disturbing noise coming from downstairs…
