ANGER MANAGEMENT, OR, WHAT DOESN'T COMES AROUND AT BLUE STAR DONUTS.

In the past, my son has had some creative ways of taking out his frustration when he gets upset:

- curling up on the floor and going to sleep
- closing his eyes and pretending to sleep 
- running to his bedroom, dramatically flinging himself on the bed and announcing loudly that he's going to sleep

But I think my favourite has to be his latest move. I mortally wounded his feelings in some way recently at the dinner table*, and he hunched up his shoulders, walked over to the corner, dug up my little video camera, turned it on*, pointed it at me and proclaimed with righteous, furious authority,

"I am going to video you, Daddy!"

Which he then proceeded to do, in tandem with his sister, for the next three minutes.

Oh boy. At least they don't know how to upload yet.

*might have had something to do with my suggestion that perhaps his superhero pajamas were too filthy to wear to bed that particular night 

**with the assistance of his often-willing conspirator in activities of opposition to their parents

THIRD EAR.
My sneaking suspicion that the children are not completely asleep has just been confirmed by a shrill flute melody blasting from bedroom. It sounds vaguely Christmas-y, so I guess we'll just let things play out.

SAD.
