We took the kids for a walk yesterday but as the terrible two year old has been starved of seeing the world for months he was reluctant to leave the car as car rides are now his favourite thing. We were trying to explain that we'd be going back in the car after the walk but it wasn't getting past the tantrum. We repeated 'walk then car' a few times but ended up dragging a protesting toddler along with him repeating wa'n'car very loudly. Passers by obviously wondered where he learned that kind of language It was a nice walk after he got used to the idea though.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Funniest thing I've read in ages wild edges. Many years ago we were at Dunster Castle when a couple with a kid of about 3 were walking towards us. Kiddie was ahead of the parents and very obviously unhappy about something (maybe he'd been dragged from the car too). We could her him chuntering what sounded like 'box' as he approached us. When he was about 3 feet in front of us he shouted it at the top of his voice. It no longer sounded like 'box' as it had 'lock' in the middle. The horrified look on his parents' faces was wonderful. We did manage to contain the laughter until we were out of earshot.
