How about intimidation? Is that okay? Standing there wearing my fangs and casually holding a croquet mallet?
I totally support this.
I think you'll find I'm universally recognised as a mature and responsible adult.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Probably not even by people who have only heard mention of me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm so glad I wasn't drinking something when I got to the Wonder Woman one.
(That's why when people in tornado country go, "But you have earthquakes!", I still feel like we come out ahead on balance).
At least with a tornado there is some indication that one could be coming and it is possible to take shelter from one.
How about intimidation?
Have you tried hissing at them? With the fangs that should be pretty intimidating.

Parenting WIN: Kiddo had MASSIVE nosebleed last night at midnight. Like, abattoiresque, but I had him laughing and it's fine.
Parenting FAIL: I stayed up REALLY late editing, and kiddo went out to check the mail and LOCKED SELF OUT. And I couldn't hear him because I was upstairs asleep (edited till 4 am) and he was outside for 3 hours and the neighbors had to call the police to get Dan's number. I feel like SHIT about it. There's a house key kidden, but he couldn't find it and I am the WORST MOST EVIL STEPMOM EVER. DH had to come home early, and I was still zonked.
I feel SO BAD. But kiddo is cheerful about it and gave me hugs" "It's ok! Nothing bad happened! It's all right...Can I have pancakes now?"
HEADDESK HEADDESK HEADDESK.
Please tell me this is NOT the worst parenting FAIL any Buffistas have done. I feel AWFUL.

Have you trained him to answer the door to Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons and say, "Yes, come in! We need more sacrifices to Satan, our lord and master! You are virgins, aren't you?"
Because if not, then don't worry.
(Seriously, one time I was babysitting, we locked ourselves out of the house, and the kids and I had a thrilling time figuring out how to break in. Which we did, so go us.)

Aww, Strix, it's not like you abandoned the kid at a highway gas station and didn't figure it out for an hour...
