Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for April 14, 2013

sneaky (you think that can be pulled off in real life?)

The last person who pulled this crap over a child, had something REALLY Expansive Broken…-Another Kid I know, peed on the offender’s leg… Needless to say, the offender NEVER pulled another dirty trick on him again!-As a kid I hated people mostly grown-ups when they try to bamboozled me… but they soon learned.

is that what the management does with cantankerous unions?

Something besides fruit? Ok, have a carrot. Yeah, my mom did that to me, but I kinda understood.

Bamboozled? She said to name something besides fruit, and Mom did.

My mom would tell me, “If you don’t want apple (or whatever) then you’re not really hungry”. And that was the end on THAT conversation.

“Bamboozle” my assets! Kids need to learn to be grateful for whatever they have and keep their mouths shut.

A friend of mine let her kids have cupcakes for dinner on April fools day. They were meatloaf in cupcake wrappers with mash potatoes for icing. She was a bit nuts with the mash potatoes and added a bit of food dye to it to really make it look like icing. The boys LOVED it, so she had to promise to make it again.

Wow, sounds like someone in the comments still has issues with their parents and needs some extra therapy this week. Personally, I’m tired of people throwing major tantrums when they don’t get their way and thinking the world should revolve around them. Breaking things when you don’t get your way? Give respect and you will get some. But you’ll figure that out as (if) you grow up. And that won’t happen by checking the comic comment section all day and responding to everyone who doesn’t agree with you.

Treat others with respect, and you can expect the same in return. Mess with people, and you can expect the same in return

Mom here needlessly antagonizing her child. Such weak parenting. THe worst part is, the kid will look back when she’s a parent, and think it’s ok, thereby, in part, creating generation after generation of mean humans.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating giving the kid whatever she wants, of course, but there’s no need to needlessly be an asshole to your own child.

@harmgb. I agree with you.

Thou shalt have my eternal respect!

@msowards@charliedawg“you are one messed up…”Who do you think messed me up in the first place…?Answer… Other Grown-Ups!!My parents who I love BTW, were doing Damage-Control, no thanks to those other people. The emotional scars are there, but I’ve pull through… Thanks to my great parents!“…brat.”Hmm… Yeah, I guess. But weren’t we all at one time or another as your guys colorful put it, “brat(s)”?? Now if children everywhere around the world knew the proper word to describe most Grown-Up/Adults, it be “Hypocrites”…

I’m just expressing and commenting like everyone else and sticking up for Alix and maybe all past/present/future kids… and the little kid in all of us, I guard mine very fiercely, how about you all…?Now that I think about it… Who here, speaks for little Alix who (can’t verbally defend herself, after all she a kid) was bamboozled and limited to fruits? Anyone…??Again, I bear no resentment, malice or ill-will to anyone.But if anyone did felt offended… my apologies.Well… that’s all from me today, I like to THANK everyone here who were nice enough to speak/reply to my comments, I enjoyed our conversations, Thanks again…

<<Wow…! You know, you sure sound a lot like that little austrian guy with the little funny mustache back in World War 2…

Telling chrildren to keep their months shut (End of story!), is called subjugation through oppression mein fuhrer…>>++You are on ridiculous ground. Respect to elders is necessary from children. Children are not equals to adults. That is not Naziism. It is common sense.Listen and learn, grasshopper.

dont get this
