Ambassador abn Posted July 18, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted July 18, 2007 Get a chicken, on the hoof (foot). Tell the kids to go out and catch him, you'll give a dollar to the one who catches him alive. If a chicken knows you are trying to catch him, nothing short of a firearm or archery set will do. After a couple of hours call the kids, the chicken will need a rest, the kids will too. If they catch the bird then you need to take him back to the farmer where you got him and tell the farmer what you are using her for, he should be able to get you one they won't catch. If the kids catch that one then they have learned teamwork and you are surely in for trouble. Quote
Moderator Art Posted July 18, 2007 Moderator Report Posted July 18, 2007 Hi Don, You obviously haven't heard my family sing. The kids inherited their talent from their mother who. by the way, was actually asked not to participate in singing at church. Not only are they tone deaf, but they are LOUD. When you can't hear yourself singing, your can't maintain pitch, and when the whole family was at mass NOBODY could hear themselves singing. Real problem is they think they are really good. Art my eldest Daughter Stephanie is in the 20s now my middle daughter Bianka is 17 and my joungest daughter Daniela is 13 so they are never home now but afew years back i down loaded Vanbascos karaoke player they loved it and what fun it is for the whole family when thay are all there, its also great for birthday partys when the kids dont know what to do... try it ..... http://www.vanbasco.com/ Quote For heaven's sakes pilgrim, make yourself a strop!
Moderator Johanna Posted July 18, 2007 Author Moderator Report Posted July 18, 2007 Singing is a good idea. I have always sung my kids to sleep. They even make requests, now. I think it would be more fun to sit on the porch and watch the chicken, though, even if that is animal cruelty. Art, you are correct about the teamwork. If they ever figure out that by cooperating they will get over more, I might as well hang it up. Johanna Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Members MatthewD Posted July 18, 2007 Members Report Posted July 18, 2007 My kids make requests also.. Please don't sing Dad.. my 9 year old will actually cover his ears.. Quote
electrathon Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 Tonight one of the kids had a meltdown over watermelon, insisting that her brother got more than she did. Silly me, I forgot to measure it or weigh it on a scale before I served it. The best way I know of to prevent that is to have the oldest cut it into equil sized portions, then the others select thier peices first. You will never find more equally devided pieces. Quote

Contributing Member Clay Posted August 2, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted August 2, 2007 Wimps, all of ya!! Try raising three step kids in their teens (that sometimes like you and call you by your name but mostly hate you and tell you so to your face) and having triplets that are two and a half!! My home is a tranquil and loving place.....NOT Clay M. Quote Clay Miller
