    I always used the light shining approach when I was younger. Superior intelligence as sledgehammer.

    I don't recommend that approach to winning friends and influencing people.

    This is even better than the brags thread.

    DS "I decided to wear a costume for Halloween, and I've decided to not wear a costume for Halloween"

    Me (hopefully, as he's been refusing to halloween this year): "um, ok, does that mean you want to wear a costume for the evening but not the day??"

    DS: "then you can go trick-or-treating?"

    Me: "yea!!"

    DS: "ok, if you want"

    <sigh>

    DS1: Hon, you already finished your homework
    DS2: Quit it with the protesting already!

    They do much better outside of a school setting, they were both just so happy and carefree and engaged with eachother and the environment around them.

    While shopping for clothes with my daughter when she was around 19 months old, we had the following conversation:

    DD: Mommy's a kid. Daddy's a kid.

    Me: Mommy's an adult...

    DD: <interrupting> Mommy's an ANGEL! <pause> Daddy's weird.

    The guy shopping one rack over busted out laughing.

    My dd (5) is on a swim team and apparently day dreams while she's swimming laps. She got out of the pool yesterday and told me that when she was an adult she was going to invent a dolphin fin that people could attach to their legs to show them how dolphins swim. "I'm going to try it out on my own kids, 'cause they would really like it. And I'm going to teach my husband about technology so he could invent something, too." !!! (My smart little fish.)

    My dd10 has issues with word retrieval. Today she was trying to ask a question and it came out all wrong, so I rephrased it to see if I understood and she said, "That's what I would have said if I made sense!"
