I'm Going to Start a Training Program...

When your child reaches the wonderfully fun stage where they scream bloody murder unless you're standing, but you have a bad back and can only stand for a few minutes, it turns out you can sometimes fool them by positioning yourself at the edge of the couch and repeatedly pretending you're just on the verge of standing up. True, to the uninformed observer you look as if you're sitting on the edge of your seat, rocking back and forth, with a child clutched to your chest in the manner of one who's going to break down any second because of the stress of parenting, but once you get in a groove you won't even care because the spawn is, mercifully, silent for a few more minutes.

Good luck, rockateers.
