better to rant here than post on blogs

Ok, I stole that title in some mom's blog who seem s to be the same age as me because it's actually true-- better to lurk than find out that when you post an opinion which might turn out contrary to that bloggers opinion, it might end up deleted -- or scoffed or the blogger will turn the comments off-- well duh! (I read somebody did this from a post by Bev)

So here's some comments to post which I would never probably post on their blogs.

At the risk of alienating my one and only outsider blog reader, she was asked by his son if he was handsome -- and she answered he was suave. Which was kinda funny actually except that he got more confused... years ago when ReyMey still had problems with figurative or multiple meaning or synonym word, I would not dream of confusing him. Nowadays I can. Before when he asked if he's handsome (note: because he combed his own hair and even used gunks and gunks of hair gel to make it spiky) we would say Yes he is handsome-- (we'll get to the it's more important that you are kind and good on the inside than looking dandy on the outside-- and we won't even lessen the gunk or fix his hair our own way) and he would be pleased.. nay he would practically be preening. Now that his grasp of language is much more improved, when he asks if he's handsome I would answer, Yes you are looking very fit today or Dashing or maybe I could start introducing that word -- suave or debonaire. I wish she would have just said -- Yes you look incredibly handsome. Which is true actually, her boys are so suave. Hmm different folks for different strokes or was that the other way around. BTW I would volunteer to be a 'babysitter' if I'm there, I can go to the US now, am a proud owner of a visitors visa Yahoo!

I followed a link in One Dad's Opinion and got into this blog from NewBrunswickwhere where they talk about misbehaviours in the car while dad is driving. I had those problems too when ReyMey was 2-5, sometimes until now -- he would suddenly open doors while driving -- or grab my hand while I'm driving. Before what we did was make use of power windows with central locking and kiddie locks -- they sit at the back and my son was never alone with only a driver-- he always had a minder or one of us to be in the car. Now I drive him to three different schools and it's just him and me--- we told him about do's and don'ts in the car and if he does a don't we stop-- literally. We find first place we could stop and sit it out until it's safe to travel again. That happened a lot so we got late on our appointments but it was okay we were teaching him safety (you know like refusing to wear seatbelts, or standing at the back of the van, or playing with the door handles) . We just provided lead time for travel for just in case. Sometimes parents also need to be firm and be constant -- constancy and firmness works. Now if he does that like open the door before car comes to a complete stop I make him sit in the back for a week with kiddie locks on lock and he doesn't like that one bit anymore.

Time's up it's Friday his school ends 1:15-- gotta go.

I'm excited at that speech/sped class later as I got new 'That's Life Social language' book and 'Spotlight on Reading and Listening Comprehension Level 2' 6-book set from LinguiSystems I want ReyMey to try out.

Bye
