The Electric Chair

Have you ever had one of those dinners where you wonder why you didn't just throw the food out in the trough and let the crazed pigs go at it?  Well we just did.  I even called for 'silent mode' three times.  Making sure to include that body language was in 'silent mode' too.  Ha!  We laugh in the face of your silent mode mommy person!

Here is how it ended.  Jacob was on time out.  I won't tell you why, it might spoil your dinner.  He kept coming off time out and telling me he was 'ready'.  Upon the third attempt to wiggle out of his sentence, I very authoritatively said, "Jacob.  Get back on time out.  I will call you when I am ready to deal with you appropriately."

As I turned around I heard him address no one in particular, "What does appropriately mean?  The Electric Chair?!"

Zackary about died laughing.  He is recovering as we speak.  Yes, I succumbed as well.  I was able to regain my mommy composure and stick the naughty little bugger back on time out, with a smile.  Ellie and Addie want to know what an electric chair is and if it curls your hair.  We are now headed out for a family walk so they can expend their energy without exasperating me :)

Happy Sunday dinner to you!
