“Mom, Anna purposely tried to kill me!”
“No, I didn’t! Jay’s lying. I just tried to scare him, not kill him.”
“Yes, she did! Don’t believe her. She ripped the skateboard out of my hands and chucked it at my head. You’re lucky I’m not dead!”
“Well, that’s only because he threw his sweatshirt on the ground, jumped on it and said it was my face!”
Anna-11 & Jay-9
As the holidays approach this is a tactic you may want to consider. For example, if someone cuts in front of you in the never-ending checkout line at the local mall, just throw down your purchase, jump on it and shout, “This is your face!” This should be an effective strategy unless, of course, they are buying a skateboard.
OMG, I love it!!!! Does that make me morbid!!
And I will probably have to use that one next time I’m in line and the need arises!!! I may even get to try that strategy here at work before the day’s up!!
No, it doesn’t make you morbid. It tells me you have a wicked sense of humor.
Great idea, but that’s what I do all the time. Very effective!
I think it’s most effective in the grocery store at the checkout counter. Whenever there’s a price check, I throw down the gossip magazine and shout, “This is your face!”
I love it! Takes me back to the childhood days with my sister.
How do you get along today?
These kids are geniuses! Best diss idea I’ve heard in a while. Totally trying this at work today with my own shirt.
Let me know how it works.
I would totally prefer the “This is Your Face” approach rather than the “Hey, Tori. Catch this basketball WITH your face” thing my brother used to do!
Tori, that reminds me of The Brady Bunch episode where Marsha gets hit in the face with the football. I think The Brady Bunch was way before your time. Here you go…
Classic sibling Rivalry. Very funny – I could easily see this one happening. And I’ll keep it in mind for Black Friday…be afraid shoppers, be very afraid!
I think it will work perfectly for those waiting in the never ending line to see Santa. When Santa takes too long, just throw down your coat and shout, “This is your face!” So what if a couple of kids cry.
I wish my son would take your advice. We had another ‘book in the face’ incident this morning. Ah siblings.
“Listen, Buster! Keep your hands off the book or it’s gonna get real friendly with your face fast!”
At least they’re reading, right?
Kind of off topic, but the “your face” line reminded me of something my dad did when he was little. He went up to his brother (my uncle) and said, “Do you know that your face looks just like my asshole?” The sad thing is, they were identical twins.
That might just be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. Thanks for sharing!
Word to the wise: stock up on alcohol and padding. Pad everything that could be used as a weapon. The alcohol is for YOU!
Note to self: Buy extra padding and wine…and then more wine.
LMAO!
Happy to make you smile.
wow! i’m tellin’ ya…stand-up. continue…
Thanks, Tony. I’m not sure people would find it funny when a fist fight between the siblings breaks out on stage.
I’m pretty sure that line will come in handy for me even when the holidays pass. Do you think my husband will be offended if I use that on him?
Go for it! Throw down that dish rag and shout, “This is your face!” I think he’ll get the point.
ROTFL
I don’t do holiday shopping (I’d end up in jail for killing someone) but I’ll pass on the suggestion!
You’re a smart lady to avoid holiday shopping. It makes me crazy. I think I may use this line in the parking lot when someone steals my parking spot. I’ll throw down my keys and shout, “This is your face!”
This is really too funny:)
Welcome, Princess! Thanks for reading. Happy to make you smile.
Love!
Thanks, Karen!
I’m definitely picking up some valuable contract negotiation strategies from your kids!
Maybe our Presidential candidates should take note as well. A posssible new strategy.
As long as they don’t get so upset I wind up having to offer them my best Ferrari matchbox to calm them back down again.
Sig, you’re way too nice! You keep your best Ferrari Matchbox cars at home, up on the shelf where little brothers with sticky fingers can’t reach them.
.
Not a good idea if you’re buying explosives either…
No, explosives would be bad…very bad.
