His response was, ''No, I hit.''
Well, points for self-knowledge and honesty, I guess . . .
edit: And he knows that hitting is much more satisfying than not hitting. Good luck to teacher.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
that reminds me of the time my nephew said (of his brother) "I'm going to hit him, I'm going to take a time-out and then I'm going to hit him again."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think part of the problem with J is that he learned at a young age that he could push around D (9 years older and much bigger than J) and D won't fight back. So he has no fear. I think when he starts to spend time around other kids and learns they'll fight back, he'll back off.

Ha, Laga! J just walks himself over to time out when he does something wrong because he knows he has done something wrong and that he is going to get in trouble.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yeah - that's a big sign that time-out is NOT working.

Hey, here I am standing next to Hec on the Waits tour!
I should always be photographed next to you. It's good for my image.

ok. what does "so you were off on Monday, does that mean you work Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday to make up for it?" sound like to you?
I worked yesterday to get ECN geared up for fall - on request - not to make up for a national holiday.
ETA - for those playing along at home... not quite sitting so well over here with the new part-timeiness.

that you're working extra hours each of the three days to make up the hours you lost on Monday but that the person who wrote the sentence doesn't have a great grasp of grammar.

this is only true if the workplace were open on Monday, right?
it's not the work I mind so much - it's the philosophy.
