  Surfing again brought me to urlLink Life on the Ridge . Just had to share this entry - hope she doesn't mind... Wednesday, October 02, 2002 little boy blue I have a horrible tendancy to lecture. This morning I lectured Michael on how important it is to pick up his trains (Toby likes to chew on them). I must have been extraordinarily long-winded. Michael looked up at me and very seriously said, "Shut your pie-hole, Mom, bitte! " He spent three minutes on the boring time-out bench and then had to pick up his trains. I put them out of his reach. No child of mine will get away with being disrespectful to an adult! Now shut YOUR pie-hole. Your giggling is plucking my last nerve.
