Tech Guy’s mom used to tell me that before she had kids, she wished for four boys, two years apart. What she ended up with were two boys, four years apart. And she determined that was the smartest thing she’d ever done because she had one hand to grab onto each of them.
Texans also like to keep our kids in line with a few creative threats. Try one of these out on yours the next time he or she does something that makes you crazy. 🙂
Beat you like a red-headed stepchild – Threat to your child or another person. “Billy Bob, if you don’t stop shootin’ your sister with that BB gun, Imona beat you like a red-headed stepchild.”
Snatch you baldheaded – another great threat to your children. Ex. “If you don’t leave that pecan pie alone, I’m gonna snatch you baldheaded.”

Today is Cookie Monster Day so treat yourself to your favorite. Which is it—chocolate chip, peanut butter, ranger or oatmeal raisin (a nasty surprise when you think you’re biting into chocolate chip!)?
