Flied Rice
Last night after dinner:
Dadisodes: You’re getting a time out. I told you “No.” Sit down for 3 minutes.
Babisodes: *bottom lip quivers* But…but….Daaaaddy? Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Dadisodes: You need to calm down. Sit here and count to ten.
Babisodes: (serious and straight-faced) …“TEN!”
Grandma: *grains of rice shoot from nostrils while restraining laughter*
Me: *runs to computer to Google- Boarding School*
A Time-Out for little Snow White? Just don’t make her eat the poison apple!

I’m afraid we Grandma types just aren’t overly helpful in these situations…

BWAHAHAHA! Grandma is not helping matters, I’m sure, but I think I would have had a hard time not laughing, too!

But shouldn’t it be Flied Lice? LOL. Don’t send your sweetie off, no matter how monstrous she is (trust me, I got 2 years more ammunition from mine).

Awwww. She’s so cute. How can he get mad at such a little darlin’? And as for Grandma – better someone who’s willing to shoot rice out her nose than a fire breathing dragon.

I am constantly telling my mom to stop laughing when my boys do something sassy. Why on earth do grandparents think that is funny? Not helping!!!
That picture is just too precious!!!

Poor princess…
as an aunt I’ve done my fair share of giggling behind napkins much to my sister’s dismay.
(oh, and that isn’t a typewriter on my Weekly Winners, it’s the keys to a steno machine. I’m a court reporting student.)

Kathryn – we grandmas think it’s funny because we remember when you were little and doing the same things. Pay back is a bitch! We wished this on you every time you mis-stepped as a child. lol
Sandy, I’ve been watching America’s Got Talent. There is a little 4-year-old singer on the program who looks very much like babisodes. You ought to tune in.

I don’t think princesses are supposed to get time outs. Something about the job description or union rules…

Oh man…I would have spewed rice through my nose too! Hahaha! I usually try real hard not to laugh. I have various methods of hiding my glee which by the way is mainly due to the expressions on my kids faces.
Method 1. Glee is covered by the fake need to blow nose. This one is very handy for those times where you did not see it coming and you know that you are going to spit coffee or objects are going to projectile fly out of the nose.
Method 2. Hold laugh in as hard as you can and say “I think I hear the phone” and get out of the room as fast as your legs can take you. I am not sure what my grand kids think of my red face and wild eyes but I am sure that they already think I am a bit nuts so it works.
