The changing moods of a 7-year-old female.

I thought I had a couple more years before it came to this.

I walked by my 7-year-old's room and happened to notice a sign, clearly posted for her two older siblings to see:

Translation: "Keep out, or else." Complete with little skull-and-crossbones.

I pointed out that this was a bit harsh, so the next day, a new sticky note was posted:

Translation: "Please knock." This genteel message is tempered with a picture of a face missing a tooth. And note that the second note was merely stuck over the first, in case her hormones swing back the other direction at a later date.
