Usable Llama Parental Expressions
Anybody who has to deal with small children will be familiar with their habit, when asked to locate something, of immediately going slack and yelling, "But DAAAAAD! I can't find it!" or the equivalent.
I've come up with a nifty comeback that I often employ on the Llama-ettes and pass on to you in the spirit of comraderie:
"Well try using your eyes instead of your mouth."
Share and enjoy.
That could come in handy. Of course, I could sometimes use it on my husband too. :)

Jordana, my wife frequently addresses my sons and me collectively as "boys." E.g., "Boys, get in here and clean up the living room now."
PS - Rob, when are you going to reply to my mild taunting about Xmas lights?

Can't wait to use it. Four hours until the alarm goes off in the morning for the dreaded school preparation routine...it's a sure bet we'll be hearing that one around the house.
I hope you enjoy the swamp down here in Mobile!
