DID YOU HEAR THAT??

[stoney321]

By "that" I mean the gauntlet thrown down by my son. Guess who just walked in the door with a copy of Breaking Dawn? My son. "I know you said I couldn't read this, but there's nothing you can do about it, now."

Oh, re-hee-heeeaaally? I walked off, hands on hips, sucking in air, trying to calm myself. Then I smiled. Mine is an evil smile.

"Fine. Your punishment for openly defying me and being a jerk about it is that you will read the book. All of it. Cover to cover. And believe me, you're going to want to stop. But I'm not going to let you. And there will be a quiz when you're done."

I walked off laughing, he sat there, stunned, the tiniest of lip quivers forming.

Score one for this mama.

Hahahahaha! I imagine he'd think twice (and probably more times) before openly trying to defy you after this. *g*

[dampersnspoons.livejournal.com]

I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at the dirt.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

When I told you to call me that, I told you to MEAN IT!

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha! You sparkle!

[moosesal.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. Nice.

[stephanierb.livejournal.com]

AWESOME.

I now have this image of your son, penitent and begging you to let him stop reading, offering to do his siblings' chores and eat all of his vegetables.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAhAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I'm going to print this out and keep it, just to show him when that inevitably DOES happen. :D

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's on! I admire your skillful administration of the maternal smackdown. Can one of the quiz questions be: when will I learn that my mama is always right? ;)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HEEEEEE!! *adds that to the growing list of questions."

#46 "Describe, using your own words, the sound of the dripping blood off the delivery table as compared to Bella's screams as her husband bites out a child from her organs. Use descriptors."

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

HA! Take that rebel son. Make him read ALL of them!

[dancetomato.livejournal.com]

You could be arrested for child abuse, you know.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

Hilarious.

[maybe1ce.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's harsh. I hope none of your readers report you to Child Protective Services.

Also, you may want to do his future girlfriends a favor, and let him know that women with brain cells to rub together do not find it quite so sparkle-rific when their boyfriends 1) Carry them around because they are too inept to walk 2) Stare at them while they sleep and 3) Vandalize their cars to prevent them from interacting with others.

And that'[s....one to grow on.

(Incidentally, I just remembered that episode of Friends, where Chandler goes ballistic at his new creepy roommate, who indignantly replies, "Don't get so mad! What about all those nights I watched you sleep and you *Didn't* wake up!?!?!?")

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA!!! I forgot that ep of Friends!! And they finally convinced him he didn't live there by just having Chandler move back in. HEE. Oh, I loved that show.

[setauuta.livejournal.com]

That...that might be the best thing ever. Should I have children, I look forward to being this evil. :)

[siapom.livejournal.com]

LMAO! That is such an awesome response. :D

[pluckygirl.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHA *Evil laugh*

So guess what I'm seeing tomorrow? Blood on the Highway. Oh yeah.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

NO WAY!! Oh, hooray! I'll say this: it starts off a little slow, then hits you full force. Feel free to tell me what you think.

As long as it isn't "you suck." HAHAHAHAHA.

[serenelystrange.livejournal.com]

Lol! This made my day. Good for you! :)

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

After he takes the quiz, will you please post the questions and his answers?

[kdorian.livejournal.com]

I second this motion!

[botias.livejournal.com]

Bravo! :D

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Oh, I thought you said a while ago he could read it? Or just the earlier books in the series?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

No, he already read the first books, because his teachers had reccomended them to him. Which... GAH.

I became suspicious about these new books he was reading, which was when *I* started reading them. And then put the rule in the house that they were garbage and not to be in our house.

[outsideth3box.livejournal.com]

I want to have your babies.

I don't want to keep them...I firmly believe all children should be shot until they are 30. But after that, I'm good.

[anelith.livejournal.com]

You are one SMART mama. And quick thinking too! I would have been too furious to come up with something anywhere near as good as that.

[spiralleds.livejournal.com]

He's going to get to those blank pages and weep with happy relief.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA best punishment ever!!

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

I think that fandom should write the quiz.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! That would be even more punishing! "OMG, Team Edward or Team Jacob?" "Stalking: romantic, a show of true love, helpful, illegal?"

[othercat.livejournal.com]

That is so mean! ^_^ Funny, but mean. :>

[sunnyd-lite.livejournal.com]

The epitome of the punishment fitting the crime! *Grin*

[samsom.livejournal.com]

Make sure to post the quiz so we can play too. :D
