"Natche! Your child!"

It's more of a moan actually, accompanied by headshaking, shoulder slumping and the inevitable picking-up of whatever my child just destroyed.

I just said it again; first to cement in my mind that the behavior exhibited comes from *his* side of the family; second, to ensure that he knows just how distressed I am.

In this particular case there was no destruction of property, but instead an exhibition of certain OCD tendencies. I mean, she took a WIPE and started cleaning the refrigerator and the floor and then ASKED for the glass cleaner so she could go finish up with the french door windows. What almost-three-year-old child does that, I ask you?
