Being A Parent Means...

...It is not uncommon to hear phrases like "Your banana is not a toy" at the kitchen table...

That is all.

They pretend said banana is a handgun they'll be looking at a "Zero Tollerence" suspension from school....and likely an Angry Pappy yelling at the Principal.

Lucky you. At my house, the most heard phrase upon Daddy getting home is

"Georgia... where are your pants?"

Thank God she's only 5. When she's a teenager, that could be a real big problem.

weer'd,

Fortunately, our school district is about 20 years behind that curve.

Hell, they still have flags in all the classrooms AND say the FULL pledge of allegiance every morning!

Robb,

Oh, we've had those issues... Like my 6 year old, easily-succumbing-to-peer-pressure son who dropped trou on the school bus because "an older boy told me to" (shades of Homer...)

Saturday night, to my son: "Jared, you need to get your pajamas on....it's 10 o'clock'.

Jared: "No, Dad, it's-all-your-fault o'clock".
