How about "Don't Eat that off of the floor" LOL
Hope you and Heather had a great date. I am sure she did because she was with you. LOL. Or maybe is was the other way around.

Sorry to be horribly off topic, but someone added you post about xbox punishment for geometry grades not being great to stumbleupon.
After reading that post I just wanted to say that you style is great and I agree with the method; however, I wanted to also so that as an engineer there are no retests in the real world. So, rather than worrying about all A's I would suggest somehow instilling the idea that you need to understand and not memorize and go by the quote: "To give less than your best is to waste the gift"
Just some thoughts.
Yes, @Storm, this is horribly off-topic but I appreciate the comment. I know you put it here because I closed the eXBox comments, but I couldn't believe the profanity and insults that the post generated. Anyone who knows me understands that I love my children dearly. They also understand that I'm rarely serious.
Sadly, those who sent comments about what a horrible parent I was, how I "tortured" my children, that I was a "sadist", and demanded I be removed from the Internet, clearly didn't grasp that the piece was sarcastic and exaggerated. Of course punishment isn't one of my "joys", and it's bewildering to me that anyone would take that seriously.
Anyhow, to me, that post is long gone. I got great comments and laughter from parents who "get it" and I got profanity-laced insults and threats from people who clearly missed the point. In the end, I wish it never hit StumbleUpon, lol, because the backlash was a complete 180 from the kinds of comments I figured that post would elicit.
I usually don't approve off-topic comments but yours was obviously legit, constructive, and cordial. For those bashing me for not allowing negative comments, it's not that, it's that I refuse to allow vulgarity on my blog. They can troll elsewhere.
You left out "Take your finger out of there". Hope you had a great night.

It was our first date night in about 5 years…very strange…and very sad. We didn't know what to do with ourselves, I guess we need more practice.
HA!
The same words are echoed over here a lot too…
*sigh*
i think My honey and i need a date night too.
Hope U have a good weekend!
one cluttered brain´s last post…Two for one- Oh me- oh my-
I think I said most of those things today already! I hope you enjoyed date night!
Great post. My son is only 20 months but I still say a lot of those things in rapid succession most times.

Did you go on a wild chase, finding out that the cops and the DA were part of a horrid money scheme!? Did you drive wildly through the streets with your kindle! I hope so! But I also hope you had fun, and more date nights since this…
