[jdkliesing]

Another thing to add to this thread is me my mom and sister a few weeks ago were discussing Who got the most spankings and it was a Hunanmous decision my little brother won by a long shot. Me and my sister were laughing about it and mom looked at us and said totally serious, she had to becuase out of the three of us he was the one that was sureley on his way to prison.

I was at the Dr's office with my son the other day. Some kid walks in with his mom and sits down. The mom asked the kid a question and got no response. She asked again to deaf ears. finally she said"hello, do you here me" The kid shot back I'M NOT DEAF ARE YOU STUPID? the mother said "I didn't know if you heard me, I'm sorry"

I'M SORRY, are you kidding me

It took every ounce of restraint not to stand up and slap that boy silly. I'm still pissed. Nicholas looked at me and asked what would I have done if he ever responded like that. I reminded him that he did, ONCE, many years ago.
