The blackmailing ...Some things never change, Colin. The blackmailing of children before Christmas is one of them. Unfortunately, it is a threat which can be overworked, and is difficult to employ with my eldest who says soemthing like, "Okay, so I don't get any presents, I don't care, I'd rather be messy" gives a gallic shrug and waltzes off.<br /><br />It's not quite that bad, but he's got room for progress before he hits true adolescent martyrdom. For the moment, they are relatively obedient and recognise that toys get trodden on and broken when left on the floor. Also, it's better to humour mummy just a bit as she's a pain in the butt when in a bad mood...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-66294373469185299832006-10-16T12:11:00.000+02:002006-10-16T12:11:00.000+02:00Entrophy, huh?

So would it look really cool and educated if I told the boys to tidy the entrophy in their thermodynamic bedroom before it reached its maximum value?<br />Or, "Your entroyp rulse is hitting max, boys. Get in there and start reducing it... or else!"<br /><br />Hmm, I'll have to remember that one.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-42898472081225468702006-10-16T11:23:00.000+02:002006-10-16T11:23:00.000+02:00Housework, I shudder at the thought, and yet it is...Housework, I shudder at the thought, and yet it is as necessary as it is inevitable. I can't bear living in the middle of a huge mess, so... well, we all know where that leads.<br /><br />Good luck on the boys' room. Perhaps they need a few new weapons to battle the real enemy - disorder!<br /><br />Cheers, --- Phil<br />http://bensmultiverse.blogspot.com/PhilBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624541057118241939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-61433954775215615972006-10-14T18:02:00.000+02:002006-10-14T18:02:00.000+02:00Hello Colin, nice of you to pop in!
