The Paradox

Have you ever been followed around by a child trying desperately to fix his situation by doing the very thing he was told not to do? I have, frequently. This contradictory behavior is amazing to watch. It will also give you lock-jaw from all the teeth clenching you do to keep from finding the nearest duct tape. This point usually comes when he sets his record on “repeat” and drags himself across the floor as if he is the lone survivor in a vast desert of oppression. Oh the irony, if only he would stuff a sock in it, he wouldn't be in trouble anymore.
