I’m with writermom. It’s like when you ask me to take the recycling down to the recycling bin, Leah. I ignore you, and eventually you do it yourself.

“Where do you think you’re gonna put a tree that big?”
“Bend over and I’ll show you.”
“You’ve got a lot of nerve talking to me like that Griswold.”
“I wasn’t talking to you.”

That Ava is sharp! I agree to ignore the “butthead” remarks. She KNOWS you don’t approve and that she shouldn’t use words like that, which is precisely why she continues to do it. I speak from experience. Kids love to push push push those buttons. I’ve found ignoring works better…if you want to give that a try.

“Nervous?”

“Shitting bricks.”

“You…shouldn’t use words like that.”

“Sorry — shitting rocks.”
