   I have got to remember this the next time I hear, “We’re bored. There’s nothing to do”… :D

   Whenever I hear “We’re bored. There’s nothing to do”, I pull out the vacuum and the Windex. They find something to do really fast after that.

   I learn real fast never to tell mom I was bored. she always said “I’m sure I can think of something for you to do” with a mischievous look on her face. the one time I said “like what” I spent the day pulling weeds

   best way for an adult to motivate children: “I’ll put you to work.” LOL They disappear quickly then.

    John, why are you using such ‘four letter’ words in front of the children?

    I guess every parent does this. My mom sure did. Sometimes I didn’t have to say I was bored, just look like I was and she would tell me to dust the furniture.

    Since this is a Canadian comic, and Canada’s bilingual, why not count to twenty in French, Michael?

    Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq…

    “bored” always got my creative side juicing up when I was young … unfortunately, it was my creative side that also got me into a lot of trouble when I was young too. LOL!

    Nothing gets the kids moving quicker then the thought of busting their rears.

    Whether my kids are fighting, bored, or being just plain obnoxious, somehow that always reminds me of some work they could be doing instead…

    How come parents were always smart enough to find something for us to do?

    Mom always told us we had the same clothes to get glad in that we got mad in. She would let us stew.

    When they lived in a Midwest State, my eldest brother would hrow tramtrums. He would sit in the middle of the Kitchen floor and bang his head on the wooden flor, Mom would ignore him and he would stop.

    They moved to Florida before I was born.
    Shortly after thet setttled into the home, Mom set Brother on the floor. He went into one of his Tamtrums. He banged his head once. The floor didn’t give. He raised his head with a dazed look. Mom tpld him that follor didn’t give. Of course not.. It was trazzo (sp) floor for easier cleaning after Hurricanes blew through. He never threw another tamtrum.
