I had a long convoluted dream last night. It is mixed up in my head, so I will give you the clearest summation I can.
I was working at a small private school, similar to a home. I was in the kitchen cleaning, thinking how lucky the picky woman in charge was, that she would not have to redo my work...Remember, this is a dream and has many meanings, is chopped up and just go with me here.
While I was cleaning with another woman, the "boss" came in wearing a tennis outfit. She was waiting for her partner, both meanings. In rushes her lover and says, "Duke is back." She was out of breath and she and the teacher were nervous upon the husband's return. They went outside and I was then in charge. BTW, this has nothing whatsoever to do with my question. LMAO
Two kids were arguing. I yelled at them to knock it off. The other woman I was with in the kitchen was ecstatic. "Finally, somebody who treats these kids as their own," she says.
Question: How would YOU have handled the arguing kids? Would you have given them a time out? Would you have quietly spoken to them? I needed to add these examples, cuz the huz didn't get it....
New Question: How would YOU discipline other people's kids, who were arguing?

I would have said knock it off or I'll rip your lips off and glue them to your ears. Seriously, I would have just told them to knock it off. I yell at everyone's kids, just like they were mine.
Come back, I updated!!!
There's news about my sister!!
Yep, that's me. Dumb as a rock.
Adulthood has its privileges. One is to stop kids from doing really bad or stupid stuff, even if they're not yours. However, I'm cautious about it.
In a school kitchen, of course I'd do it.
GOM, you are the most intelligent person I know...Dumb as a fox...maybe.
Bizarre again, Nance...I wrote my blog today ("Dreams"), then popped over to yours to see that you wrote about dreams yesterday...
We have got to stop this ;)
Intelligent when it comes to consitutional law and adaptive polymorphism, perhaps, but DAAR when it comes to, say, balancing a checkbook.
I flashed on the old politically incorrect kids' book. "Epominandas," said his mother, "you ain't got the brains you was born wif."
