Sometimes I wonder if small children are secretly ruling the universe, but let grownups think they are in charge because it's so much easier to get other people to feed you and do your laundry. If they ever teamed up with cats we would be well and truly screwed.

Putting things Away when there is drama involving toys is always a good plan. When we were little, my sisters and I could always be shut up by the threat that a toy would be put away in the loft after the first couple of times when we saw that our dad was being serious about it (this was the one place that we had no hope of ever getting to, since it was a freestanding ladder instead of the pull-down kind, and we were all scared of going up it). The absolute nuclear threat, if we kept arguing, was that the offending toy would be given to Oxfam, and since our grandparents ran the local Oxfam shop we always took it seriously.
