I showed my dog the picture of Darby. He seemed mildy interested. My guess is that he was acting blase to hide his joy at seeing another similarly colored dog get a good home.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

I too object to the use of the word retard, except for Rush Limbaugh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"I have no clue what you are saying".
"Stop whining or you'll have a timeout. Okay...timeout."

I love iCarly! I have a terrible weakness for children's television. I used to babysit a lot, so I had an excuse, but now I just... it's a problem. I honestly enjoy both iCarly and Wizards of Waverly Place (there's an episode of that that almost made me cry. it was so embarrassing!)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Thanks guys for the calorie site suggestions earlier!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That is too funny, Ginger.
Do you use the phrase "I can't hear you when you whine." good times.
"Can you say that again, without the whining?"
"That's still whining."

In our house
"Stop whining or you'll have a timeout. Okay...timeout."
results in "No" or "You can't make me". We are pretty much a timeout free house. But the kids I nannied were very responsive to timeouts.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"You can't make me".
Yes, I still have the advantage of being able to physically pick Matilda up and put her into her crib. (Which really only functions as a combo timeout zone/stuffed animal zoo at this point. She doesn't sleep there.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"Can you say that again, without the whining?"
Yes. "I need you to ask me in a polite tone of voice."
Which usually results in a whiny "Pleeeeeeeeeeease may I have [whatever]???????" but at least it's a start.

I can still physically overpower mac, it is just that doing so is destructive to our relationship. I shouldn't really include myself in these parental strategy discussions. The hurt child/attachment issues world is an upside down one where opposite behaviors prevail.
