Just ask my 3.5 year old grand daughter about my span of control.

The day after Thanksgiving, she was in my lap teasing me about something as usual, I teased her back.

Then she said, "If you say that again Papa, you have to leave my house!"

My wife heard this and said, "Papa lives here, and you are visiting us!"

Then our three year old grand daughter said, "This is my house, and Papa had better behave and never say that again if he wants to stay!"

Her dad, my oldest son came close to falling of the couch that he had anchored down, and my DIL got red in the face. His mouth full of water from his water glass, went all over him and the couch. He then came close to choking while laughing. We found out that she had said the same thing to him two days before.

I gave my grand daughter a hug and asked if I could stay in "her" house. She said only if I apologized. Which I did.

So, Mud, that is the span of my control!
