When Scout had a temper tantrum and said I was not a fun mom (among other things), I gave him a good punishment.  I told him that he could spend some time in his room, and make a list of the things that I do for him.

Honestly, this kid could do me in some days.  But this list softened me, and made me laugh at the same time.
Scout,
You are awesome and annoying at the same time.
Good thing I adore you.
XOXO,
Your constipated Mom
