Sport of Champions
Since my children (all boys) have been cooped up in the house for 2 days due to the freezing ass cold temps, they have had to entertain themselves. They have been growing bored with their toys and playstation games. Nothing is on TV so they have found a new way to entertain themselves. I suddenly hear “Ouch!” and an uproar of laughter. Then I hear it again, repeatedly. Even though I really don’t want to know what is going on, I feel I have to, being their mother and all. I find my boys dragging their feet across a blanket and shocking each other for shits and giggles. Boy, am I a proud mom! At least they were having fun and I’m sure the brain damage will be minimal. I’ll worry when they have the paint chip eating contest.

This is what we used to do. Only the sibling/cousin on the receiving end was usually caught be surprise. It is amazing the evil, painful things we did to each other for fun.

LOL Well at least you have boys! My girls have been googling Joe Jonas and trying on my high heels! : )

That’s an educational activity! You could totally explain to them why the static charge builds up and then discharges when they touch. Then they can look at you like a total freak and then go away. I’m sure that will give you at least a couple hours of peace!

Ooooh! They should do it in the dark, they’ll really like the visuals!

My son had a Halo 3 marathon going on. No learning there, at all! My daugher baked and chatted via myspace comments. And whined about being stir crazy. Good times.
