Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child.

This will make threatening them with it much more effective.
I never looked at it like that. Thanks, Jeff.

I used to buy the "Inert" training cans of Pepper Spray (just harmless liquid/maybe water) and keep it on the sidetable near the couch at bedtime for my youngest.

I'd say "alrite bud, time for bed." and if he talked back I'd spray him from across the room. Shit worked great. :mrgreen:

Yes that's what we call them. :D

Now I can work around the house to try and catch up on my personal shit, "OOOOH - JOOOOOYYY!!! :cry: :cry:

No, this was last weekend. Manassas is happening right now (July 23rd). Puck and I don't do WBTS reenacting anymore. We did back in the 135th and 140th anniversaries, but that reenacting became too money grubbing. We do Revolutionary War reenacting.

Neither. Not really arguing. More like history geeks throwing out facts and theories. Walked away shaking hands.
