Gracious. That was a combo of cg and pj (the way I sign my SN sometimes).

"All of the above" appears on exams everywhere--blame it on my years of education!

It's definitely not incorrect. It just feels incomplete.

I had to use it on a little boy this morning--he was being big stuff by cussing at church. The smile fell off his face so fast, I thought it would hit the floor. I recognized him as the same little boy who flashed me at a church pool party this summer. He's about 6 or 7. I wish I knew his parents, but I always see him without them.

I've got the look down from years of working at day cares.

Not saying you need to beat your kid, yell at them, or anything crazy, but I get annoyed when people let kids have things after they said no before.

This one's a biggie for me. I was helping watch two children in church this morning. They're mischievous and will wait until they catch your eye before doing something they're not supposed to do. Mind you, they're only 13 months old.

In any case, my cutoff for that type of behavior is 9 months. After that, children know what they're doing by your look, tone and words. So, these children are well over the limit.

One of them went to pull a fire extinguisher from the wall, so I gently took her hand to turn her around, look her in the eye and tell her no, that's not to touch. Then, it was game time. After the first warning, I simply blocked her path to the fire extinguisher. She tried to push me, sneak around me and finally, when all else failed, she began to whine. When I stood my ground, she went off crying to her mother.

Two minutes later, she was back and wanted me to pick her up and cuddle. lol
