http://www.rhinocity.net/rhinocity/single/exploding-child-and-the-rules-of-parenting/ I forgot the cardinal rule of parenting last night.  If your child says "I need to..." followed by a description of any body function, particularly those that involve fluids and chunks, quickly throw them into the nearest bathroom.  There is no negotiating.  You cannot delay, wheedle, plead or reason with said child.The bathroom door was locked, my child said he thought he needed to throw up.  I said (why, why, why!) ‘you’re fine, lets go downstairs.’ (Why, why, why!) If I were reasonable I would have done the only sane thing: kick in the bathroom door and chuck my child in the direction of the toilet before he could up-chuck on me. I chose the insane thing instead and we went downstairs.  en-us kifwalu@gmail.com Copyright 2007 2007-09-04T20:58:00-07:00 http://onjohns.blogspot.com Casey#When:2008-10-09-17:37:00 I am proud to say that no student has ever thrown up in my classroom (though I did have one throw up on the sidewalk outside).
