How Not to Parent 101
Duct Tape Might Be Silver
But Silence is Golden
*He did it to himself, but I can't say we all didn't enjoy the 35 seconds of quiet from the continually rapping, teasing, snarky comment making teenager :)
My 3 year old talks me to death. My rule is he can talk to me anytime except when I'm reading labels in the grocery store and trying to cut fruits and vegetabes. --AdrienneG
*laughs* My kids did this at the grocery store with their stickers... they did it themselves... no prompting from me... but wow... did I get some dirty looks!
I really did wish there was a mute button though... ;)
Ha Ha... sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. Now if you start to tie his hands with the stuff, you know you have a problem. Silence when you have teen's in the house is a rare moment CELBRATE while you can!
