I just turn them off behind her. Guess her being grown and telling her to turn them off is a lost cause.

Here is another sample conversation from my house:<br /><br />Me: Is your room picked up?<br /><br />Daughter: Yes.<br /><br />Me: OK, let's check.<br /><br />Me (looking at room): Whose pile of clothes are those? Why are there pencils all over the floor? Where do those books belong? Where do those shoes go? <br /><br />You get the idea.<br /><br />Also - suggest an Appleseed shoot for the boy.

Especially without the context of knowing Vietnam War history. If you want a "Vietnam" movie, "Uncommon Valor" with Gene Hackman is not a bad choice for instilling guy values: never give up, team work, always go back for your buddies, make due with what you've got, etc. For westerns, you could go with "Pale Rider", "Silverado", "Tombstone", "3:10 to Yuma" or any of Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns although "High Plains Drifter" is a personal fav.Daddy Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01386749814126280114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-18960145652541981812010-08-08T17:39:35.314-05:002010-08-08T17:39:35.314-05:00Don't forget ANYTHING with the Duke is appropr...Don't forget ANYTHING with the Duke is appropriate for youngsters. The Searchers is my particular favorite. <br />The Dirty Dozen is another fav. Oh and don't forget Sgt. York. Shooting and standing up for your country-that's a perfect message for youngsters. It's even recommended for homeschooling. <br />And the light thing-I have no idea why but it's true! "Turn that light off" is one of the most repeated phrases at my house.HEATHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324130429322268692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-30783797587175251842010-08-08T13:06:45.691-05:002010-08-08T13:06:45.691-05:00Re: leaving the lights on
