Preserving a parent's sanity

Now that the phinlet's gone mobile the only think keeping me from implementing the child restraint seen below is the beatings the missus and his grandparents would throw me.

Well I can't claim it won't be implemented, but I will be bright enough to make sure there isn't any photographic evidence.

Oh. My. Uh, at the junior high, the students are divided into teams. Each team earns points, by collecting cans of food, or donating pennies, etc. The teams redeem their points for strips of duct tape at the end of the semester. They choose one person on their team to tape to the wall using the number of strips they were alloted. The students taped to the wall stay there, until only one is left.

Last year, the tiny girl taped to the wall had to be set free by the janitor. Everyone forgot her.

Apparently, the principal at the school is a redneck...

I shouldn't be laughing, but as a parent I think that's funny. My parents use to joke that they didn't need a babysitter, since they would just hang me up in a closet (and this was in the 1950's)....times haven't changed much.

The only thing they are missing is the ceiling fan. The spinning motion helps keep them calm.
