so for the last few months my younger daughter has been acting pretty bossy, throwing tantrums, not listening to me, and constantly whining and arguing with her siblings. wth. i had told her a few times jokingly that i would send her away to boarding school if she continued to misbehave. my empty threats unfortunately fell on deaf ears.
well last week, my Midland handheld cb radio came in. it has the words 'Midland cb transmitter' labeled on the front. my kid sees it and says 'daddy! what is that thing?'. i decided to take advantage of this situation.
i told her that a rep from Midland Boarding Schools came by earlier and dropped it off. i then proceeded to tell her how i explained her behavior to 'Samantha', the rep, and she gave me this 'transmitter' for monitoring purposes. i told her it records all voice, whining, crying, etc. and sends it back to the rep. and that we have an interview next week to listen to the results and make a decision on whether to send her to boarding school or not.
my daughter doesn't believe me. how typical. so i put my google-fu to use, run a seach for 'midland boarding school' and lo and behold i get this: http://www.midland-school.org/ i tell her to straighten up or your going to california and will only be able to visit us twice a year lol. she looks at the site and started crying saying that she doesn't want to go and that she'll try to behave.
well, guess what? she's been acting like an angel for the past few days! yay, no more crap! she's listening, going to bed on time, finishing her din din, etc. and when i sense that she's going to act up, i wave the cb in the air. anyhoo, if it goes this good this week, i'll have to postpone 'the interview' until next month. lulz
