Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... listen! tee hee. Sorry.


Ok. Here is an idea. We have had A LOT of hot topic agreeing and disagreeing, and some have resulted in miscommunication, personal emails, and such. The students I work with at the center do something that I thought MIGHT be appropriate over here if you guys wanted to be a little silly.

If something comes up and you find yourself in a debate, almost violation of Ivillage TOS, writing all those nasty thing in a post that you've REALLY wanted to say for a while, etc...if you find yourself doing this, just right SQUASH!

What does this mean besides being a low carb food? Squash just means that you are done with the converstation, you've put the issue away, and it's time to move on. It's a trigger word. At the center, kids can use it among themselves, adults can use it with the kids who are getting unruley wanting to know "WHY,WHY, WHY?" Just an idea.

I have issues, I know.

Happy Sunday!

I like it! The definitive, non-expletive, one-word answer. I may have to get myself all worked up just so I can use it :-)
