The adventures of Rebel Nude!

[gfrancie]

Senor Onion was not pleased about an executive decision I had made. His response was to start banging his toy lap-top on the coffee table. I told him he needed to stop doing that. He refused. I told him if he didn't stop doing it -then he would lose the laptop for a day. He kept it up. So I took it downstairs to the basement where it will live for a day or so. He was greatly displeased and proceeded to shuck his shorts and underwear down the steps.
That'll show her.

It took a lot not to laugh. I refer to him as the rebel nude. When life gets him down, he will go pantless. FEAR HIM. Hard to fear someone wearing red socks and a shirt with giraffes on them.
When that didn't make me cower in awe, he threw some damn duplo at me. Now he is hanging out in his bedroom. He keeps locking his door from the outside (thus locking himself inside) and then yelling "OPEN THE DOOR". When I do open the door he wants me to lock it.

I am keeping my sense of humor about all of this. Besides there is some entertainment value in writing this down so I can horrify him later in life with the evidence. Live long Rebel Nude!

If you really want to make his 21st a great night, you will get Rebel Nude on video.

You are full of evil ideas. I love it.

This made me ache a bit. I helped daniger move today and it wasn't too long ago she used to wear Safeway bags because we had to insist she not run naked around the neighbourhood - in fact I'm sure it was just last year - not 20 ago.

Enjoy it - you won't believe how fast that 20 goes *s*

I second this, and my kid is only 12. What the hell happened to my toddler, and why was she replaced with some surly pre-teen?

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

safeway bags? Sounds like the original Paperbag Princess.

"Take my laptop will you?!? That's it - IT'S PENIS TIME!!!"


And he'll be doing that for the next 40 years.

Oh yeah.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I will warn any future partners. "yeah...expect this."

My parents used to send me to my room until they realized that I liked it in there. (Given my subsequent history, maybe a little too much, actually.) BTW, because of that, I was probably the only kid on Earth who was never grounded, ever.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Ever? Wow.
They should have made you go outside and weed the garden or something.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

I think they tried, and I do recall spending a lot of time melting pennies with my giant magnifying glass and smashing rocks with hammers. Just not much time socializing.

He's not related to Keith Moon, is he?

The mental images are hilarious. Thank you for the stories!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Well...he is English. So anything is possible.

I love these stories. You missed the wee one pitching a fit and stomping up stairs and into her room because she wanted to go outside barefoot and I said no.

The neighbors can also hear her screaming. That's always a joy.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

You are a cruel Mother.

[artemis-moon.livejournal.com]

lol. Good thing that will wear out of him when he is older. Or else it will make some interesting dinner conversation.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

It will always make for good dinner conversation.

[emmabovary.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. My girls used to strip and yell out "grosse dame nue!" (Big fat naked lady.) Hmmmm....you don't suppose they were mocking me, do you?

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Heartless fiends.
I suppose stripping off is the best approach when your power is limited.

oh, that was nice reading for a laugh.

last night, oliver did not want to put his computerized letters back in the case, which had been temporarily used for counting coins, so we said we were going to give them to another little boy. and he said fine, let's. and he helped daddy take them on down to the car. so i guess he technically picked them up, but this obviously isn't a sustainable bargaining tool.

damnit.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Yeah I have tried that trick too. I hate it when I have to keep coming up with stuff.
