Nelsons Never Quit!

Tonight I was leaving for my speaking engagement (I had to first drop the kids off at my Mom's house), hurrying to get everything in the car and Palmer was searching for something outside the van door. Apparently he was looking for a piece from his camera he dropped. I kept saying "Palmer get in your seatbelt," and he kept searching. Finally I said in my very appropriate firm yet loud voice (okay I yelled) "Palmer just get in the car!" He did and sulked all of the way to Grandma's house. Later on that night, driving home after I picked them up Palmer said "Mom Nelsons never quit, and you told me to quit looking for my camera piece." I just had to laugh. We have told them a million times that "Nelsons never quit"-he listened!
