Katie-isms

[mapsedge]

Decided to try a new threat to try to intimidate some obedience from my daughter, since all the old threats have stopped working.

Me. "Katie, knock it off or I'll sell you to the gypsies."

Kate. "Daaaaaaaaad...I don't even know what gypsies are."

Me. "Nomadic Romanians."

Pause.

Kate. "Oh, well that's alright, then."

That's so funny...I started threatening my girls with "sell you to the gypsies" when we lived in Germany and there were real gypsies everywhere, selling dead flowers that they dug out of the florist's trash. When I was po'd Rissy got to the point where she would ask "Gonna sell me to the gypsies?" Obviously, she was not worried. Now Rissy's threat of ,"I'm going to beat you and put you in a nursing home", makes sense.

Is that Rissy in the icon? Wow...I've always wanted to see her naked, although I'd pictured her a little older...

The part that strikes me most funny is that changing the threat from one unknown to something else equally unknown made it suddenly okay.

Yep, that's my Rissy in the icon. Her birthday is August 29th so I plan on replacing Mermaid Love with Rissy Love for that month. I've been busy scanning baby and other pics. Sorry, don't have any recent nudies to share.
