*ahem*

If (general) you are all going to act like children, then I'm going to put on my Mommy hat.

Sit down.
Now.
Be still.
Do not say a word until I have finished.

If you don't have anything nice to say, do not say anything.

Treat others as you wish to be treated, not as you have been treated.

I do not care who started it.

If you wouldn't say it in front of your gramma, don't say it here. Gramma cusses like a sailor? Fine --- then if you wouldn't say it to a prospective new boss the first time you meet him, don't say it here. Prospective new boss greets you with a string of expletives the first time you meet him? Fine --- then if you wouldn't include it in your wedding vows.... you get my drift, I'm sure.

You are all grounded. All of you! From 10 p.m. Pacific tonight until 4 p.m. Pacific tomorrow. I want you to go to your rooms and think about what you've done.

Then I want to hear some apologies.

Because I said so.

And kiddz, there IS an ignore function here. Use it. It is a Good Thing.

If you all behave yourselves tomorrow I'll take you all out for ice cream cones. =)

Mommy can I have a donut??

Yes mom.
