Kids are SUCKERS!

[LaraMN]

Bwahaha!

I've been making sandwiches for lunch all week. I know the kids are sick of them, but I didn't have anything else around to make today. I knew they were going to whine about having sandwiches again, so I totally scammed them.

I threw a bunch of bread slices on a plate, put the peanut butter, jelly, lunch meat, and sandwich spread out, and yelled,

"Kids!!! We're having a bread party!!"

I told them I wasn't going to make lunch, we were going to have a "Bread party!!11!" and they could make whatever they wanted with the stuff on the table.

They ate sandwiches AGAIN, and I didn't even have to MAKE the things!
Plus, I acted like it was a big, fun deal, so they were all excited about it.
:rofl:

They're such suckers! It reminds me of the time I got NoelMN all excited about getting the van emissions tested.

:rofl:

1. Yeah, and it's really a blast when you tell them that Santa Claus died!

[LSK]

4. Santa Claus died?

:cry:

[EstimatedProphet]

31. It was in all the papers

Cheney went to the funeral, and shot him for good measure.

[LaraMN]

5. You're somebody's scary uncle, aren't you?

One year I dropped raisins in our toilet on Easter, and told Noel the Easter bunny used our bathroom.
The look on his face when he saw the "droppings" was priceless. He told everyone the Easter bunny pooped on our potty.

[EstimatedProphet]

25. LOL!

[MonkeyFunk]

24. My mother did that to my older brothers

who were 5 and 4 when JFK was killed.

They asked what was going on, since all the adults were glued to the TV. Mom nonchalantly said somebody shot Santa Claus.

[EstimatedProphet]

26. Oh. That's bad.

[SeattleGirl]

2. A bread party!

:rofl: :rofl:

[LaraMN]

6. I wonder if I can convince them to have a bagel party for dinner.

I really don't feel like cooking...
:P

[SeattleGirl]

7. I bet it would work, because bagels look different than bread.

:rofl:

[JVS]

21. See how many consecutive bread parties you can get away with

[kay1864]

3. Did you remember

the Baby Benadryl for dessert?

Comes in Grape and Cherry! :bounce:

[LaraMN]

10. Mmm!

It's fabulous over italian ice!

[kay1864]

13. Why mess with the ice?

It comes in chewable tablets, like candy!

And it's sugar-free, so they can HAVE ALL THEY WANT!

8. I used to get my kids excited about playing Hansel and Gretel

They'd be driving me nuts and being miserable little brats so I'd brightly say, "Hey, who wants to play Hansel and Gretel?" They couldn't wait to play - until I left them out in the woods with nothing but a few bread crumbs.

I only left them out there for a few hours.

Well, okay, it WAS overnight.

But there weren't any wild animals in the area.

At least, not too many..... :P *

















*Obligatory disclaimer for those with absolutely no sense of humor. Yes, I offered to play Hansel and Gretel with my kids. Yes, they loved the idea. No, I did not abandon them in the woods.

[LaraMN]

11. Well, you didn't end up in an oven.

So it all worked out, right?

:P

[skygazer]

14. I also had them beleiving that one of the local shopping centers was an orphanage

I can't remember how that came about but they'd howl like mad when I threatened to take them to the orphanage. :rofl:

It was a place I never shopped but I finally stopped there one day for some reason. Their little eyes were as big as saucers, then we walked in and it was a bunch of stores.

They didn't ask me to buy them anything, though.

Amazingly enough, all my kids love me and think I was a great mom. Suckers, indeed. :P

[LaraMN]

19. Aughh!

I convinced the other kids at my bus stop in elementary school that there were dead bodies inside the Christian Science Center across the street.

One of them cried.
:hide:

[skygazer]

23. Are you my long-lost sister?!

:pals: :rofl:

[billyskank]

9. !

It reminds me of the time I got NoelMN all excited about getting the van emissions tested.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LaraMN]

12. NoelMN AND a friend.

They were two or three.
They clapped in the van the whole way there, and they got home thinking they had fun.
It was so nice when he was that impressionable.

:P

[Midlodemocrat]

22. I used to do that when we went to get the car washed.

They LOVED it. :rofl:

[redqueen]

15. ahahahahaha

I think you're one of my heroes now!

Where's that bowing-down smiley?

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

17. Lol!

Now I just need to figure out how to scam them into doing laundry...

[Inchworm]

16. That they are...

sucker starts very high at like 2yrs old and slowly goes away until they can smear it on you :)

:hi:

[LaraMN]

18. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

:P

[JVS]

20. van emissions test

SIGN ME UP!

[LaraMN]

27. If you use a very excited voice, raise your eyebrows,

and open your eyes really wide, kids will go ANYWHERE, and do ANYTHING you suggest...

[gmoney]

32. Not just kids...

:woohoo:

[TheProphetess]

28. You're my hero

"Bread party!" :party:

[hfojvt]

29. whenever mom couldn't make dinner for some reason

Dad would make a 'daddy special' which was just all the leftovers in the fridge cooked in one pot. So you'd have a couple of casseroles and peas and corn all mixed together. We all thought it was a treat. It's marketing from a source you think you can trust, but also it actually was not bad. I made some myself when my parents left me at home while they went on vacation.

Also, I cannot believe you had a bread party without inviting me. That really hurts :cry:

[LaraMN]

30. I'm so sorry!

We may have a cereal party tomorrow!
I'll be sure to extend you an invite!

[hfojvt]

33. a cereal party - yippee!!!1!

:woohoo: :party: :bounce:

Hey wait just a goldarned minute :think: this sounds suspiciously like some kind of trick to get me to eat Life cereal, or much, much worse yet oatmeal :puke: I won't get fooled again.
