Remudamom Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 although I didn't know it at the time. I just had a discussion with my two 14 yr old boys about how to properly get water out of the distiller thingy. Dh heard them "discussing" it with me, and came downstairs. "Your mother is always right. Even when she's wrong, she's right. You do not argue, you do not discuss. Practice with me now, 'I'm sorry mom, you are right, I am a donkey's patoot.'" (although they were using a slightly more descriptive term:glare:) The girls and I were rolling in the next room. ALMOST makes up for the radio scam. Quote

Nicole M Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 my 16yo son just read this over my shoulder and said in his serious, laconic way, "...he's a ladies' man." and I of course, reminded him that there is much to be learned from the wisdom of this "ladies' man". "yes, there is," he replied. see, it's working already! Quote

abbeyej Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Roflol! This reminds me of something my mom said recently... We have three hs'ed girls who moved into the house directly behind ours early this year. It's been great for all the kids, and they spend a ton of time together, usually getting along fantastically well. One day, however, the almost-7yo girl was just having one of "those" days. Nothing was going her way, everything upset her, she was convinced every word out of another child's mouth was in some way cruel... And eventually she lost it. She grabbed a toy pan from dd's kitchen set, whacked my ds over the head with it, screamed, "I never want to play with you again!" and ran for home. ... It was dealt with. It was fine. It was one of those kid things. I confirmed with the other kids that ds had neither said nor done anything that actually warranted such a response (and trust me, my own dd would have been more than happy to blame it on him, lol), and the other girl had a chat with me and her mother, and later she apologized to ds (although he didn't care at all -- it was the mommies who insisted on the apology, lol)... Anyway. Kid thing. It was fine. So I was telling my mom about it later. I actually thought it was sort of funny that she had whacked him over the head with a pan. ;) Mom said, "Did you make him apologize?" "No, Mom... He didn't do anything!" "Yeah, but he should just get used to it..." giggle... lol... ;) Poor boys. ;) Quote

WTMCassandra Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Way to go, Remudamom's DH! I would say that makes up for the prank in the van the other day ; ). I tried to rep you, Remudamom, but the system said I had to spread it around. Quote
homeschoolmomof6 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 LOL! He sounds like my dh. He always tells the kids, "I have three rules in this house." Rule 1: NEVER hit a girl. I don't care what she does to you. ( I have 5 boys and 1 girl) Rule 2: If it's not yours don't touch it. Rule 3: Mom's always right. Blessings, Amanda Quote
