I don't often play the "I'm going to tell Daddy" card with my kids. Mainly because he doesn't do much disciplining. Dan telling the girls that he's going to tell Mommy brings a much more repentant reaction.
The girls do not like it when Daddy is upset though, and if they actually think he will get mad they usually snap back to their senses pretty quickly. One night last week while giving Anna a bath I had to use the threat: "I'm going to tell Daddy and he is not going to be happy."
Anna's head bobbed up over the side of the tub with a total Anna response: "Then why are you telling him?"

Dan was cuddling with Rachel on the couch when she suddenly asked him: "Daddy, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Stifling surprised laughter, he answered: "I don't know, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about... Hannah Montana."
"Then, no."
I wish I was as good as you at writing down the funny things my kids say...Well Done Meredith! I always enjoy reading your posts :)
