How to win at parenting

Recommended Posts

It's the school holidays, and I've spent the morning trying in vain to work in a house full of boisterous 6 and 9 year old boys. In the end I rounded them up and told them that if they kept quiet enough for me to work I'd let them watch the sequel to The Thing - a movie so scary that they must promise not to tell their parents I let them see it.


They are now huddled together for safety on the sofa, in terrified silence, watching Breakfast at Tiffany's


"When does the alien appear daddy!"


- "Any minute now. Just keep your eye on George Peppard..."


:lol:

They will get their own back on you in spades when they realise you conned them.

 

I was worried about that, but I think I redeemed myself by letting them watch a couple of episodes of Hill Street Blues.


"Judas Priest, Frank!"


:D
