[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 372115, member: 1872"] Hi Sharon, Your story reminds me of a time I was at Lake Michigan when the boys were younger. They started throwing sand at each other. I said "Don't throw sand." My mom companion said they were just being boys, and boys throw sand. OK, I thought. Go ahead. So they threw sand until each was coated and neither could see, and they were both screaming (raging) at each other on the beach. I said to my mom friend "See what I mean? Don't throw sand." "Don't throw sand" has become a metaphor in our family for the impulsivity that sometimes appears out of nowhere between our kids and turns a fun time into a surreal nightmare. I always say that too -- "another fun family night." Sending empathy. The next Wii game will be better. But don't throw sand. xxooo [/QUOTE]
