When I was young I loved watching the movie Sound of Music. I remember in particular the part where the father (who was a military man) came home from a trip and his eight children lined up to greet him. Each would step up, shout their greeting and salute before stepping back in line. Discipline looked so easy, just a couple of songs, some talking to and a few threats and you could produce picture perfect kids. I sure wish it was that easy. Anyone with children knows it doesn’t work that way. Many times I like having my nephew over for a week during the holidays...
