A parenting friend said she taught this song to her daughter, and now whenever her daughter wants something she sings, "You can't always get what you want!!"
Haha!! I'm definitely gonna teach Charlie this song and see if it works.
What's one thing you want, and one thing that you need?

Eric sings it all the time! Right now I want: my children to disembark the grumpy train!
I need: an extra three hours in my day.

Someone should have told my mom to do this -- one time I said I wanted a toy and she said, "You don't need that!" And I replied, "I didn't say NEED, I said WANT." Lol little smart aleck! And right now I want to eat a brownie but I need to get started on my Jillian workout

My mom sang this to me as a child when I was being a brat. It drove me crazy! But as I got older it started to make sense...good song!

My dad TOTALLY did that, though usually to my sister, so I didn't mind.

Right now, I want to finish my gardening (I really want it to be tidy and pretty for when the baby comes) but rain is forecast now, all weekend. However, I totally overdid it when I did the first half of the garden yesterday and I made myself feel quite ill so I guess I *need* to let it go and take it easy. I think maybe the song is right!
