Seems like a very weird title? Well, the fact is that in my dictionary, i could never find “children” and “waiting” in the same sentence unless there is a NOT somewhere
Ever since my first child could talk, I have started to use the word “wait” very generously, more than a just a few times a day. Of course, the situation just got worst when we had more talking children. However, my husband discovered that sometimes the “shock therapy” will work for impatient children. Here is how it goes.
If you have one or more child pestering you while you are negotiating your MPV in a very bad traffic, be it on having a candy (or why they can’t have their 11th candy) or why do birds fly, while the kiddie CD playing the same track for the 50th time. Your patience may just run out. In these times, shock therapy works. Just tell the children something absolutely nonsensical. Like ” Because the chicken said you can’t” or “because the chicken said so” or “If I was an octopus, then I would be able to repeat the track for you, pick up the toy you threw to the front seat, pass you your water bottle and drive at the same time”. And then, total silence… for perhaps 10 seconds tops and everything starts again. Ha! but my husband would repeat these ridiculous answers for several times until they get the picture. To wait. If I want quality answers, I have to wait. That’s part of growing up.
Why don’t you think of some ridiculous answers tonight for tomorrow’s battle. I am writing mine down already.
For chicken recipes you can go here. Here you go. You could borrow what I’m using tomorrow.
