texasmama Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Tex, did you get your red boots this evening?No boots. We ran all directions with the kids. Might be the weekend or later until it happens but I've been doing research and that is good because this is more complicated than I had expected. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So there is a writing exercise in MCT where one is to pick something important and write metaphors to explore the relationship between linking verbs and their subject complements. Example: Loyalty is...glue. Loyalty is a diamond. Etc. So my wonderful DS chose pooping. That's right, because pooping is IMPORTANT. So now his metaphors. Please do not copy, as these will be copyrighted. LOL Pooping is... an exploding grenade. a rotting corpse in a pond. squeezing ketchup out of a bottle. a sigh. a fly's dinner. I think he's feeling better. There is much laughter. I think you stole my kid. He and I are simpatico. :thumbup1: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 One of my dd's cheated my no-tooth fairy meanness. She lost two teeth while spending the weekend with her grandparents. She got $1 per tooth per grandparent. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 My kids understand that the Toothfairy is often behind schedule because they are backlogged in China or India. Dd17 often claims to be the toothfairy to deflect tension. I still harbor a bit of guilt from my oldest who was genuinely surprised and saddened at the age of 11 when he found out the toothfairy was not real. I had no idea he took it so seriously since he clearly did not believe in Santa or the Easter Bunny. :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 When I was a kid my mom and dad were having a conjugal visit at the prison (we spent the weekend in a little apartment prison) and I lost my tooth and the tooth fairy left $1 under my pillow. I didn't think much of it at the time but as an adult I recognize that there was no way my mom and dad could have gotten money into the prison legally. I should ask her about that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says there was bad weather in Brazil or the tooth fairy is on vacation in Australia and couldn't make it back in time, "but she'll be here tonight". She's also left notes that the tooth fairy couldn't come because the room was too messy. It's still snowing here. Don't take unnecessary journeys! Don't travel on treacherous roads! I wish we had snow. :/ We got freezing drizzle last night, but all the bad weather that was supposed to hit my town dipped a bit down south, then swung back up to hit the major towns to the east of us. SO annoying. We're out of school today, but will definitely be back tomorrow whereas the other schools will probably be out tomorrow and maybe Friday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
