Stupid Guest Tricks

But all throughout book 7, they use side-along apparition to get from hiding spot to hiding spot, don't they? That's how they're able to get from place to place. It's usually Hermione doing it, and both Ron and Harry are holding onto her. I think it's just that it was a big deal when Harry apparated with Dumbledore because he was still underage. You probably still have to be of age to sidealong, too.

Not intending to stop the apparition discussion, but on the subject of evil Parenting.....
I got tired of asking the boys to clean out their closets, so today I TOTALLY EMPTIED THEM OUT and put all of it downstairs.
Anything they want to keep will require being found, put on a hanger, and brought back upstairs to be neatly hung up......
Anything left downstairs when I return from work tomorrow goes to Goodwill!
Muwahaha! :twisted:
Thank You for listening! :D:
Please resume.....

Thats a GREAT idea, I wonder if it would work on DW? I could move all her stuff downstairs, then tell her that if she wants to keep....

wait a second...

I would have to carry it all back upstairs...

and my stuff would be outside later that day...


Hmmmm

Just stick to Rum, and you won't notice all that extra stuff upstairs! ;)
Don't recommend the Psycho Mom act for everyone!
You should have seen the looks on my boys' faces when I told them my evil plan, it was priceless! :p:

I've done something like that twice. I asked the kids to clean up and when they said they were finished, I went through the room with a trash bag. No warnings. Everything left was gone. Only had to happen twice and they realized that I was serious when I said clean up. Now they do a pretty good job themselves. It doesn't take using powerful parenting very many times to make your kids know that you're serious. If they know you're going to follow through with your consequences, they will usually behave when required.

Yep, they do. Hermione is the one who takes them to all the places. And I don't think age matters for side-along.

OT, but how did we get onto the HP discussion?

Somebody (Grumpy Pirate?) mentioned "floo stuff" and it was all downhill from there.

Remember, at SGT every thread is the ADD thread!

Isn't floo stuff, germs that make you get it?
