The good lady's idea of "witchcraft" (the tea-sipping/chocolate dipping/movie-watching...followed by 'oh, I got so much done!') seems to mimic my own sense of witchcraft ;-)
On the crying front...once years ago driving down the highway, with my 3 kids lined up in their carseats in the back seat, the one-year-old started in with the hysterics. I raised my voice and said..."It's just 20 more minutes! just 20 minutes!" But then I glanced in the mirror and then it was I who let out a huge S C R E A M!!! He had rubbed his eyes so hard while crying that he popped his eyelids inside out - he looked like an alien so I started screaming more! We were all screaming! Parenting...SO FUN!
I almost started screaming when I read that. That would have been nightmarish!! HAhahaha, oh so much fun to be had in this parenting lark!
Yes, it seems like a very special kind of witchery ;O)
