    Since you're going to do the frog stitch all evening, make sure you have plenty of flies(chocolate) to eat and thump the nephew for me. LOL

    What a great idea! Sorry I never thought of it for my darling. He is 31 now and very well behaved. However, I used to have a personalized coffee mug in the Principal's office. It doesn get better

    How long did you say he will have to eat all his meals standing up for?

    In this house he would have been Nanna's 'slave' for the next school holidays, and because of my fibromyalgia, there are plenty of chores he could do - apart from mowing.

    Could you make an applique in the area? Call it your signature.

    First he would get a good spanking, next, a good talking to, next, wellllll, he would have to sit and do a time-out while watching you take out the stitches, re-sew, and then help you cleanup dog pooh in the yard. Why dog pooh? Better than 'killing' him.

    I used to threaten my kids that I'd take them to school in my giant rollers and a dingy flannel housecoat if they were late for the school bus. They were never late.
    When my oldest was 3 he waited until I had already driven him to preschool and walked him to the door when he revealed "Mommy, I have on 2 pair of underwear" LOL, he thought that was the worst he could do, I always insisted they start the day with clean underwear.

    Since your nephew's such a trickster, there has to be something that will 'get back at him' but only in a humorous way. Is there something he has that he keeps in a particularly neat and orderly way? Just go in when he's not looking and put them not in his order
