His mom’s got a new a boyfriend–which wasn’t so bad until out of the blue and for no reason he said,

“It’s me or the kid toots.
I don’t like the lad.”

So now he’s the new kid. He lives with his dad.

How do you scare your kids?

I might add:
“Hey! What’s this swimming in the toilet?”
“The cat just barfed . . .and it’s your turn.”
“Did you remember to unhook the dog from the hitch before we left?”
“Mom wants you, and she’s got a list.”
