“Get down from there. You’re going to fall down, crack your head and DIE.”

Just like my mother…. and most likely what I’ll be like too. It’s inescapable…
Me to my 4year old son this afternoon after walking in and catching him attempt a backflip off the couch – “Do you want to DIE? Then do it again – you’ll break your neck like THIS (showed him an example) and then mummy will have to sell all your swords and toys to another kid” – I think he got my point.
I knew we werent the only ones striving for extreme graphic imagery to ensure the safety of our kids!
Choo hoo! Go FobMamaInMelbourne, LOL. We’re all on the same wavelength I see.
