What's on your mind today?

T's biggest ever meltdown happened over a sucker.  He was 3, and I had taken him with me to the bank, where they gave him a sucker.  I can't remember why, but at some point during the ride home he started yelling at me for something, and I warned him that he was not to speak to me that way, but he kept it up.  As we pulled into the garage, I looked back and saw him yelling at me with the sucker in his mouth.  I'm like "No.  You do not get to be disrespectful to your mother while eating candy."  LOL  So, I took it from him, explained that only good respectful boys get treats, and threw it in the trashcan in the garage.  That's when all hell truly broke loose.  Screaming, kicking walls....I sent him to his room and he tore all of the sheets and blankets off his bed...it was insane.  Total psychotic break.  But I stand by the message of that night...you do not yell at me through a mouth full of candy.  LOL

Speaking of my favorite devil, Husband just sent this to me.  Thought Buddy especially would appreciate it.



Husband's aunt owns a horse.  I think its name is Cinnamon.  Anyway, that's T, on Cinnamon, wearing his bike helmet. 

[Buddy]

AAWWWWWWWWW!!! Cinnamon is adorable (as is T  )

[Ali]

Hahahahaha, I like that you noticed how cute Cinnamon is before you noticed how cute T is.  LMAO!

PS: What are those little green stocking things on Cinnamon's legs?

[Buddy]

Well, T is cute, but I can't say no to that muzzle.

Within the last 48 hours, I've written a 37 page user manual. Think I'll go to bed now.

Heh, didn't see this till now. Those are splint boots. They are used for support and to protect the horse's legs from being hit with their own hooves. They come in all different colors like zebra stripes and leopard spots.

How much do you still have left?

It looks like a chunky helmet, is it for a motor bike?

What is the user manual for?

The shop had 5kg bags of basmati rice for $3.22, it's usually $12, has been $15 in the past.  I think I may have bought too many, 50kg of rice, it's going to take a while to eat it all.    It would be a good time for the zombie apocalypse/end of civilisation.

Aaahh! to T and Cinnamon; well done to Juliet!  Trying to think of sensible uses for rice, apart from eating it.  Maybe you could start a Chinese restaurant?

It's actually for snow boarding.  I didn't know that when I bought it, I just liked the look of it.  Husband recognized it immediately and pointed out the special part in the back for attaching goggles.  But I figure if it's built to withstand falling down a mountain, it can also withstand falling off a bike (or a horse.)

If you drop your phone in the toliet, they say to turn it off and stick it in a little baggy of rice. So MP could do that....a lot....

[Ali]

Sorry, one more post....

T wanted a mohawk...this was the best I could do on short notice. 



I can't believe he's old enough to care about his 'do. 

[Asmodean]

That's not a mohawk - it's a pointy-ish regular hairdo. Give the kid a proper mohawk, be my advise. 

Mohawks today, piercings and tats tomorrow. The Asmo, he approves.
