Tanaqui Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Go up to your nearest child, put your hands on their shoulders, and say firmly "I just want you to know that you're a special person. Never let anybody say that you're not wonderful. You are fantastic." Then give them a hug and walk off. When they ask if something's up, just say "No, I only wanted to make sure you understand how much I love you, because you are very important to me. You matter a lot." Man, the kids had an absolutely priceless reaction, and everything I said was 100% true. That was well worth the price of admission. Even funnier than slamming the door, yelling "KIDS! YOU COME DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW! THIS INSTANT!!!" and then handing them ice cream when they show up. (Okay, maybe I am mean.) 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'm dying. This happened here recently too. I didn't even realize until I was in the midst of saying this and trying to be so supportive that they were going to take it so badly. So then I couldn't help but double down. "I really love you. You're the most important person in my life. Why are you looking at me like that?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaqui Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Around here it's the other way around. It's the darndest thing, but the kids don't like chocolate chip pancakes. (Tell the truth, they're just not that fond of chocolate.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
