Was it the best parenting? Probably not. Was it effective? Yes. Your husband, Ryder, had told your kids that whenever they lie their ears turn red which caused them to cover their ears whenever they were about to lie.

Despite being a man of few words he was still a good father. Like tonight, your youngest kid was sick and crying all night because of it. Not knowing what to do Ryder placed the kid on his chest, letting the little baby hit at his face until he fell asleep.

Your youngest was 1 and your oldest was 5. As everything quieted down your five year old walked in rubbing her eyes. “Mama, Axel woke me up.” She held her stuffed bunny.
