I understood consequences very well. Sometimes that helped and other times...<br /><br />Got in trouble sometimes but not terribly so.

I'm nothing of the sort.<br /><br />Your daughter is smart like Amanda was at that age. Always so precise. Still is. Matt believed everything or just went along with the fun. And you are never drunk!!! Your kids are beyond the trickery age.
