Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 On this long weekend, I'm trying to keep the kids busy to stay out of trouble. (with each other). I told them tonight, we can all go see that movie " JUNO " . my daughter already knew about it and wanted to go. while I was making lunch. they were fighting over a ball. we have tons of balls, but they both chose that one ball. then they were running in the family room with the dog, then fighting over the dog, then fighting over the chair, then over everything else. I said, if you both don't stop fighting, we won't go to see that movie. (didn't care) they continued to argue anyway while I was cleaning up after lunch. nothing worked. EXCEPT - I told my son to clean the dining room table & take the garbage out. My daughter, I told her to take the dog for a walk and hang up all her coats. things started to get so quiet, when I turned around, the kids were quiet and gone!. they went to their rooms, shut the door and were quiet as a mouse. I found the trick !!! magic words are: CLEAN SOMETHING, ANYTHING.... LOL, you name it, and kids disappear... the end Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
