No cookie unless you have 5 bites of chicken.
Okay, no cookie unless you have 3 bites of chicken.
I will give you an entire sleeve of cookies if you lick the chicken.

⭐ How the stars do it
We’re all aware that there will come a time when our children will finally best us in, well, pretty much everything. But we’re perhaps in no rush to see that happen just yet.
I wonder how Virgilijus Alekna felt this week watching from the stands as his son broke the discus Olympic record to take home a Silver medal; a 20 year record he had held since Athens 2004.

Upcoming dates that it might be worth having up your sleeve:
National Son & Daughter Day | Sunday 11th August; as if every other day isn’t enough, try making the day about them for once.
Middle Child Day | Monday 12th August; because presumably you’ll forget to celebrate them on Sunday
That’s it for this week folks.
Thanks again for reading, as always we leave you with one HILARIOUS joke to share with the family.
I was walking down the street and was hit by a violin, then a clarinet and then a French horn.
I’m pretty sure it was an orchestrated attack.
