Big and Little Pet Peeves

[d.k]

* Humph. I ONLY threw ONE temper tantrum as a child. I had a kicking and screaming hissy fit because I wanted a broken toy top with a sharp metal spindle and got a definite NO. My mom threw a BIGGER tantrum!!!! No yelling. She put my baby brother down on the floor on his blanket, took me over her knee and dusted up my backside "butt-good"!!!! IN THE STORE and again when I got home and bed without supper. I remember it VIVIDLY. First and last tantrum I ever threw. (At least until high school!!

) TWo biddies in the store tried to give Mom grief-- She told them "MY child, MY responsibility and she is being a BRAT. Mind your own business." They both went back to looking at girdles or whatever. . . . . .

If the tantrum worked, you probably would have done it more often, I know I would have! Yea…. my wife and I call it a “time out”, we take time out of our busy day to make sure our kids straighten up and fly right. Nothing repairs a kid’s attitude like a swat or two on the hiney.
Peace,

d.k......if people were parking in my driveway to eat their lunch I would embarass them away, lol!! I'd put some huge rollers in my hair, get my bedroom shoes on, my bathrobe and coffee cup and make a few trips to the mailbox!! They would probably burn rubber gettiing outta there scared the crazy woman was gonna try to have conversation with them!!!

People with NO control over their children, Esp in Church, People with phone stuck in their ear while trying to drive, and people who either have no turn signals or forget to turn them off. and people who just throw trash out the window. I really get burned up when we go out to dinner and the server sits us near some kid screaming for some dumb reason, now I ask the server for just a minate to look around and I try to find some table with no children near, even if its way in the back,

* Lol, Scrambled, I used to tell the kids I was going to show up dressed JUST like that their school one day, and with green mud mask one my face, go into their classes in the middle of the hour and say "Where is my little precious!!! OH, THERE he is!!! MY POOR BABY forgot his lunch money!!! Here it is, honey-- Give momma a kissy-kiss!!!" I think it was one of the reasons my youngest, at least, tried so hard at school. . . .

Dang! I shoulda tried that with my DS...

My biggest pet peeve is LOOSE DOGS!!!!!!

* (Spotted Crow, I think it also helped that they knew it certainly was at least GENETICLY possible that I might one day pull such a stunt. My mom is "family-famous" for several such, ah--um, incidents of invention!!!!

Oh I hate the loose dog one too! And then people that think "no leash law" means their animal has the right to run the county eating up your chickens. Anh! WRONG!

Biggest PP is tail gaters! LEAVE EARLIER!!! I use my window washers liberally when someone is close enough for MY slop to hit their nice clean vehicle.
