Flashback Friday: "Make my day..."

Lately, Stone has quite the little temper. I blame it on his Latino side (you hear about the stereotypical Latin tempers), but this week, my dad confirmed I had a temper and dug my toe repeatedly, as fast as I could, into the floor. Cliff's parents have said he did not have a temper when he was little. Instead, he took punishment like a big, grown man.

One day, Clifford did something he was not supposed to. His dad warned him of a spanking, and he said, "Go ahead. Make my day." And so, he got one. He didn't let a single tear fall until he got to his room. Though Stone has a similar temper from my toddler days, I'm pretty sure he will be just as fiesty and witty as his dad.
