After numerous times of chasing her down the street we have reached an agreement with Melissa that she’s not allowed to run away from home until she is in college.

    Her: OK. But you’re the meanest mommy in the whole world and I’m definitely running away and changing my name when I go to college.
    Me: Fine. Hold my hand and let’s go find .
    Her: OK. After we do that I want to .

    Meanwhile people watching this are shooting me daggers. Whatever. It works for us.
