[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 68086, member: 1991"] I love the alarm clack that ran away and hid - I want one! We use the water method. A mist spray bottle filled with water and set on jet works best. A jet in the face is effective but a jet on the body works better. Best of all - if you can get to the foot end of the bed and send a jet of water right up the INSIDE of the pyjama leg. It's very hard to go back to sleep when you feel wet and clammy. Scoring a dead hit on the family jewels with a jet of cold water from the INSIDE is the ultimate aim - THAT will get him out of bed, fast. Make sure your line of retreat is clear. And the other one, from M*A*S*H - dipping his hand in lukewarm water while he's sound asleep - it MAY work but you may also have to change the sheets... and if he wakes enough to catch you at it, he should then be awake enough to get up. One more thing to consider - you need to be VERY sensitive to adolescent males who are reluctant to leave their bedclothes while in the presence of a female relative. You COULD offer them a cold spoon... Marg [/QUOTE]
