Anybody who has ever had a two-year-old has probably at one time or another been ready to trade the kid for just about anything, or give it away for nothing in return!

Few of us actually take action to follow through on the temptation, however.

Tell me about it. Right now we're in the middle of a two day stretch of watching our grandsons... ages 2 and 4.

There are occasional times when I want to drop kick them through the wall, but I enjoy hugging them even more.

LOL! You beat me to it. I have a certain nephew who for a certain period in his young life we wouldn’t have been able to give away, much less trade for anything valuable...

I didn’t see in the article where the child was now. Hopefully, they won’t return this little one to her mother after the time is served. I can hope, can’t I?! In truth, they probably will. Just a thought.
