Kids of EB

Had a conversation this morning with my 9y/o about the social science behind war, gangs, and violence. She actually had good questions and insight. My 11w/o didn't really care much though.

I had a conversation on Friday afternoon with my 9 y/o daughter about balls, where they were in relation to the penis, how they were attached to the penis, why it hurts when you're kicked in them, and dispelled the myth that you do not in fact pee out of your balls.

Moral of the story - ignore your kid if they ask what a "spay and neuter clinic" is.  

 

[matt267 PE]

Damn, your conversation was much more interesting than mine was.

 

[Supe]

It's the last time I take her with me for allergy shots, that's for damned sure.

OH.  Add circumcision to that list to.  Apparently she had a few revelations when correlating our discussion with seeing her baby nephew's wiener during a diaper change.

I shutter at what mini-kevo will ask about.

As of right now, she thinks that she was in mom's tummy when mom was a baby.

I think we have a future health care professional in our family.  If snickette even hears an Ouch or similar from anyone/anywhere in the house she will run to the fridge and get a cold pack and bring it to you without you knowing she was doing it.

wow, compared last years halloween pics to this yrs and snickette is like 1 going on 6 instead of 1 going on 2.  Full of attitude and not willing to take shit from anyone.  

completely different from her cool/calm/passive brother.

Yeah, my nephew was relatively passive, but my niece was/is an enforcer.  I remember a couple of good ones from when she was 2 or 3 years old.  One of the neighbors' kids took a toy she was playing with, and my sister caught her a second before she beat the shit out of him with a toy weedwacker.  Then, she was in day care at my sister's gym when one of the other kids took a piece of candy she was eating.  She was no longer allowed back in to that day care after she threw a forearm shiver to that kid's face.  My sister asked her why she did that, and she responded nonchalantly "She my yummies."  Which roughly translates to "that bitch took my candy and she got what she deserved."

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Took mini-Ram trick or treating.  He was overly enthusiastic about carving pumpkins and the same level of enthusiasm for trick or treating.  Currently staring at a mass of candy on the floor as he licks each one and tosses them away.

I always told my kids they could eat as much as they wanted the first night and they were usually sick of it by day 3..

My youngest kid has his moms ocd.. sorted " & bagged" his loot......

I don't know, Whoppers and Starburst are a bit out there, too.

And the four piece kitkat feels fat shamed for not being places with it's thinner friends.

minisnick got caught cheating on his spelling pretest yesterday.  They fold the paper in half longways and the teacher saw him flipping it over to see the answers on the other side.  I think he got distracted by something and was trying to catch up as he had the last two words but not the first 8 because he was able to spell them at home with no trouble.  as punishment I had him write each word 10 times.  he was complaining about his hand hurting after the 4th word.  he was told if this happens again it will 15 times for each word.  for now i think that is enough to keep him from repeating his mistake.

When Junior does something bad, one of my routine punishments is to make her write "I will not do XYZ" a zillion times in her notebook.  Boredom is a great motivator!

 

[matt267 PE]

I make my daughter choose her own switch.

 

[Road Guy]

Hopefully none of your kids will see this trick!

 

[snickerd3]

I think I remember doing that as a kid.  not with 5, but like 2 or 3

I'd just hand her four more pages.

I remember doing that first year on a Spanish quiz.  My teacher called my parents and told them I'd fail the class if I didn't improve my work habits.  Changed nothing and got a legit 97 overall in the class >>insert like a boss photo here<<
