    ilovemischief I used to have to go to my mom's office after school because we got out before her work day ended. I literally curled up in a corner or UNDER HER DESK and went to sleep.

    Homework, colouring in and activity books were our entertainment and woe betide either of us for even considering leaving the booth or thinking about making loud noises... We BEHAVED OR ELSE. I'm not saying that smacking us was the right way to discipline us, but there has to be consequences.
