Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship>> A WISE WOMAN ONCE TOLD ME THAT MY KIDS AND MY PARENTS HAVE ONE COMMON ENEMY, AND, HONEY, LET ME TELL YOU, THAT PERSON IS E. I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW TRUE THIS STATEMENT WAS UNTIL I VISITED MY FAMILY DOWN IN HOUSTON FOR OUR ANNUAL FOURTH OF JULY BARBECUE.
AS SOON AS MY KIDS CAME THROUGH THE DOOR AND SAW THEIR GRANDMOTHER, THEY BECAME THE MOST COMPLIANT CRITTERS I HAD EVER SEEN.
I ALMOST DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THEM!
I CAN NEVER GET MY DAUGHTER CAMERON TO FINISH ALL HER FOOD.
I TRIED BRIBING HER WITH GIFTS, IPAD, TRIPS TO THE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM AND NOTHING WORKED.
CAMERON, HONEY, PLEASE, PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU, EAT YOUR FOOD!
>> UH-UH!
>> CAMERON, EAT YOUR FOOD.
I CAN NEVER GET MY DAUGHTER TO GO TO SLEEP ON TIME.
SHE KNOWS BEDTIME IS AT 8:00 EVERY NIGHT.
IT'S 9:45 AND SHE'S STILL UP READING A BOOK.
CAMERON, HONEY, PLEASE GO TO SLEEP, YOU NEED YOUR REST!
CAMERON, GO TO SLEEP.
I MAY LOOK LIKE MY MOM, SOUND LIKE MY MOM, SOMETIMES I EVEN ACT LIKE HER, BUT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO GET MY MINNESOTA MUNCHKINS TO COMPLY WITH MY EVERY WISH LIKE THEY DO FOR THEIR GRANDMA.
SO SINCE I CAN'T BEAT 'EM, I GUESS 'LL JOIN 'EM.
