[QUOTE="hexemaus2, post: 397899, member: 4560"] Oh Marg! That's funny. I have a water cannon for just such purposes. That is one of the written-in-stone household laws. Mom's water gun must ALWAYS be the biggest, most powerful, and hold the most water. (When family disagreements reach an impass...there are two options, water guns at 6 o'clock, or pillow fight at 10 paces. lol. Mom always wins. I have the biggest gun and the best pillow fighting pillows on the planet.) I've done the jet spray before. First the face/ears...then pretty much anything that wasn't covered by covers. That stopped working. So I went full-on and filled a pot with ice water...one of my big 5 qt pots I use for pasta and chilli. Filled to the brim. Swoosh! All over him. (He was more upset to learn that HE had to drag his mattress outside to air dry.) Yanking the covers out from under him and rolling him out of bed was the quick way. lol. Easy too, since he sleeps in it like a cocoon. All I need is one free corner and I can have 200lbs and nearly 6 feet of difficult child on the floor with one good YANK! They may both outweigh me by 60lbs or more, and they may be nearly a foot taller than me...but I swear, I'm meaner and I play dirtier. lol. I just love the "evil mother" part though. That had me in stitches! And he was trying sooo hard to sound mad and mean. Sad thing, as soon as I started to laugh, his dimples started to show & it was all over...hence the "I really don't like you, ya know" comment...because I made him crack a smile when he was trying sooo hard to sound mad. lol. Poor kid...I think the mean gene completely skipped him. He just doesn't have it in him to be mean or stay mad for more than a heartbeat. It's just not in his nature. lol. [/QUOTE]
