Some Parental Advice
Words to live by: When you are livid with your child.....when you are seeing red....and you think that you'll explode....do not.....I repeat....DO NOT use the word "shennanigans." (i.e. "I've had it with your "shennanigans!") They WILL laugh. They WILL repeat the word and they WILL laugh again. For example:
(True re-enactment):
Grown Up: I have had it with your "shennanigans!
Small Child: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Shennanigans! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
"Uh-Uh" doesn't work either. For example:
(Another true re-enactment):
Grown Up: Stop fooling around! If you break that.... it's gonna be uh-uh!
Small Child: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! You said, "uh-uh", Mom! Ha, ha, ha, ha!
These are just small little words of advice to all parents. They are designed to save you the complete parental humiliation that I have encountered.
