On-screen text

normalize not letting your kid's chaos become your own. This girl just purposely dumped her ice cream cone on the sidewalk, I didn't yell or reprimand her I said "let's head back and grab a cup and some napkins!" she had to make 3 trips to get it all, I got a lovely walk and I doubt she'll do that ever again lol
