Birth Of Dad Vein.
Logan: "Unless you're in the mood for a spanking, I suggest you go to bed now."
I'm anxiously waiting for the day she says, "You know...I actually am in the mood for a spanking."
It's not because I want Madison to get a spanking...because we really don't spank in this house. I'm dying for her to say it because that will mark the birth of Logan's 'Dad Vein'.
You know that pulsing vein on the forehead that would come out when your dad was really pissed?
That's going to be so great.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEHEE!
Are you SURE that'll be the birth of Dad vein? It might just lead to a lot of laughing....

Um, I think the day Patrick says, "Actually, I am in the mood for a spanking" will be the day he gets shipped off to psychoanalysis camp. But only because that is how they do things in Steve's family.

My dad always had that pulsing vein when dealing with me.

You mean your kids get a choice? Incredible! I just got the spanking whether I was in the mood or not. Maybe because my dad didn't have the vein - he just rolled the tip of his tongue under and bit down on it.

Do you do the counting for Madison? I used to do that for Andre until one day I said "You have 3 seconds to start brushing your teeth! One...two..." and he looked at me and smiled and said "THREE!" (He was three years old at the time.) I started laughing so hard. I don't remember if he ever brushed his teeth that night.
More recently, he was doing something and I said "Andre, how many times have I told you not to do that?" He said "Twelve. Well, it used to be eleven but now it's twelve."

she's probably going to be the kind of child that never brings out the dad vein. and then what will you do for fun? ;)

My dad's vein is so large it now protrudes without any provocation whatsoever. Wonder how that happened?
My kids totally say stuff like that to me, and they do the same stuff Heather-Anne talked about and it always ends with me laughing and the children taking over the house and nobody getting in trouble for their smacky mouth. One of these times they'll take over the neighborhood and eventually they will take over the world because their mom was absolutely laughing her ass off the whole time and not taking care of their smacky smart-alec mouths.

My Kid's grandma likes to remind me, "Don't ask him questions you don't want to hear the answers to."

Dad vein... I love that! My husband's family has what we call, "The Thompson Lip" They stick their tongues in between their lower lip and teeth and, well, it's pretty freakin' funny ;o)

Dad vein - my dad must have had an aneurysm raising me.
