Totally Effective Things I Say To My Kid: A List

[brigid]

Here is a list of totally effective things I say to my kid in an attempt to parent and discipline him:

• Hey!
• Stop it!
• Seriously, knock it off.
• Did you hear me?
• What did I just say?
• Why did you do that?
• WHY did you DO that?
• Is that a good idea?
• What do you have?
• OH GOD PUT THAT DOWN.
• I’m going to count to three.
• Is that a good decision?
• I’m going to eat your face.

I can threaten to take away their computer, but the downside to that is I don't get my writing work. And they don't much care if you take away the rest of their books and things.

I couldn't turn my students upside down if I tried. Have I mentioned that I teach Amazon girls? When another teacher wrote at the top of my board today I had to get one of my 11 year old girls (who happens to be getting close to about 5 and a half feet) to erase it for me. And her friends aren't much shorter.

My boys are closer to my height, but I'd still say 75% of them are at least three inches taller than me.
