Dawn: It gets really tough sometimes… especially if I don’t know the parents. If I let a laugh slip out then I always get the evil eye.

oh man, I’m the same way. when kids do something bad, and the parents get all pissed, I’ll be there practically IN PAIN from holding in my laughter! GAWD, I love not having little rugrats running around!

Phoenix: No not a parent yet… and I know I’ll have to change my tone as soon as I become one. Hehehe… Imperial March huh? That’s great stuff.

And it does sound like your son would be pretty entertaining. Did he build all of those Bionicles pictured on his blog?

nicole: Well… they don’t really talk back. They just look at me while I’m chuckling and give me the evil eye.

Riss: Haha! I try not to encourage it directly, but sometimes I can’t stop laughing right in front of them when they do something bad…

tubawench: Oh my mom didn’t mean to give me both halves… I snatched them both myself and took a chunk out of each one before she could stop me. Sometimes I think its worse to try and turn away and laugh… seems like the kids know exactly what you’re doing.

It is too hard not to laugh at children who are being defiant, especially when the parents set themselves up. If ya don’t want the kid to eat both halves, only give them one. I have had to turn my back to my niece so as not to laugh outloud. Usually in those situations, my sister is also having a hard time holding it in and correcting said niece at the same time.

You evil evil bastard, encouraging that kind of behavior. When I tell my girls they can’t do something in my “serious” tone, they laugh at me. Those brats.

Wait, you’ve actually run across parents that talk back to their KIDS?? I didn’t think they made those anymore. ;)

Your not a parent yet, are you? Having one of your own will suddenly make you an adult suddenly.

Actually, that’s only true part of the time. With my son, I get to share my love of Star Wars and Voltron. At 2, he would be humming the “Emperial March” song at the stores, and Star Wars geeks would recognize Darth Vader’s theme song…and they have to shake my hand.

Also, fart jokes are always funny.

You’d love my son. He’s Dennis the Menace incarnate. You can check out my 5 year old’s website at http://www.dominatorsworld.blogspot.com. He loves Bionicles.

Robguy: Hmmm… watching ‘My Name is Earl’ has really gotten me interested in this karma business. Maybe I should try and temper my immature ways just a tad.

How does your girlfriend put up with you?
You know that if you ever procreate, karma is going to enjoy biting you in the ass.
