Vunics post about kids and cars reminds me of some of the more unusual things we teach our kids. For me, I remember one evening while during a heated discussion with my daughter. I was following her as she stormed off to her bedroom yelling at the top of her voice (I was probably yelling at her about her lack of pedigree). Anyway, as she when into her bedroom she pathetically slammed the door. I open the door and yelled at her that if she is going to slam the door at least do it properly. So I show how to do. You put one foot here, the other there and give the door to good swing. (complete with a full demonstration). The whole house shook and reverberated and I turned round to see the look on her face, it was priceless. She wanted to laugh but couldnt because she was still trying to be upset. When I got back to the kitchen the missus wanted know want the hell was going on and I had to explain it was just me teaching my daughter how to slam a door properly. So, want the weirdest thing you've had to teach your kids?

You know those big trucks hauling a trailer of cars? I taught my kids that it's a pirate truck that captures cars and steals naughty kids to sell to the Chinese as slaves.

For the moment I read them comic books (not the X-man, Spiderman, .. type, I'm talking about the real stuff here ;-)), which works fine because at one point he was saving a Lego princess with his Lego knights and just when the bad guys were killed and the princess was saved he said "Die Princess !" and he stabbed here with the good guy's Lego spear. On another occasion he was talking to himself. "I'm the Prince of Darkness!" I think that he will come out very well in this world :-). PS: yes, true story. But he's actually very sweet and well behaved, he just has a wild imagination.

My daughters both know how to pour bottled Guinness, a not so easy task, and how to make a Churchill Martini. :-D

:) I have been training myself how to restrain from raising my voice. The kid I spoke about, yesterday, rose the car's audio volume to the MAX, watching my face. He was very fluent in that. He understood there's a connection between the volume-control knob of audio system and people's face reactions. As it gets louder , people usually frown and start to stop the child angrily. That's fun for him. When he tried this with me, I was sitting like a terminator that can stand any audio levels. lol He lost interest in that in seconds and put it back to lower levels. And then HE MOVED TO THE GEARS!
Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy.

The volume was innocuous, good for you not reacting. The gears though are another story, the kid would looked like one of those Garfield dolls that stick to windows. Not that I normally condone violence but the kid could have caused a major accident.
