The boys and I were out and about in the car this afternoon. During a lull in the requisite and relentless back-seat squabbling Argy called out. Hey mum, what's that red button for?
"The one on the dash?" I said nonchalantly "Why that's the eject button."
Er, yes I know. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I shouldn't have. I know that. But somehow I just couldn't stop.
The boys were fascinated. And I was on a roll.
When quizzed as to the function of an Eject Button I sort of described how it could be used to jettison back-seat passengers from the car. Through the roof.
Well I can tell you now, that there were no more fights on the way home. It was quiet. So very quiet. Especially when I went to tune the radio.
Oh,mean. But oh so smart at the same time. I won't tell if you won't!

ReplyDeleteOk, that's it. We need a car. Or do you think those buttons can be installed inside the house? ;-)
ReplyDeletethat's so funny, the problem with that one if I tried to use it myself my five year old daughter would say "noooooo it's not, press it and eject Jae out"
ReplyDeleteTee hee! Whatever works to snatch a moment of peace. And they'll stop thinking that you know everything far too soon, so take advantage of it while you can!!!

ReplyDeleteso happy to see that I am not the only mother that does this stuff... convinced my daughter that cheerios had holes so babies couldn't choke...she told her child development class...oh the things of urban legends.
