My daughter came at me with this tirade: At Grandpa’s house, we can have cookies for breakfast. At Grandma’s house, we can stay up late. At Grandpa’s house, we can have target practice and ride snowmobiles.

Grandpa lets us watch R-rated movies.

I can explain that the rules are different here and they are different other places too! No target practice or riding snowmobiles at school for example.

Listen, Linda, you say that rules can be like grandpa’s just occasionally. Just now and then, there are special times, and you can get the grandpa rules!

She looked at me!
