danger effectively though. So this too is an option. But dragging him
away doesn't work for us.<<<

I just want to say that I love how this sounds! I'm forever telling
dh "just distract him with something", when he (dh) might otherwise
prefer to take some coercive action in response to somthing the
children do. This sounds SO much better, and by sounding better,
feels better! Kinda like Sandra's post awhile back about language
and
how it shapes our attitudes. Cool!

I just figured i'd missed a post.
It seemed reasonable and useful even though I didn't know the origin. <g>
