I yell at my kids when they need to be yelled at. I definitely don’t do the sensitive park slope parent thing where you get down to their level and try to talk to them like they’re you’re equal. I’m their parent, and my job is to be their parent, not their friend.
The other day my daughter was being an absolute terror at the 9th St playground and repeatedly did the opposite of what I told her (specifically, when I said “stop putting sand in your baby brother’s hair, she looked at me with a “you just watch me” grin and put a handful of sand in his hair, and then did it again). So I gave her a good yelling and yanked her out of the sandbox by her arm and told her we were going home right away. She of course starts screaming and saying she won’t do it again, she’s sorry, it’s not fair, etc., making a huge scene. And I just kept walking her back home with a firm grip on her arm. Meanwhile all of the park slope parents are looking at me like I’m some kind of animal to discipline my kid like that, like I’m supposed to have a long conversation with her about whether or not what she’s doing is appropriate.
Manny does not duck any good fighters vs. pretty boy floyd does his best footwork on the dance flr vs in the ring. After this fight, no way floyd has the balls to fight Manny
I don’t think that Benson would be particularly enthusiastic about Swedish meatballs — I think that he would believe Italian meatballs to be far superior but in a spirit of tolerance, he would put up with other people’s need to eat inferior food. But that is just a guess.
I’ve had venison carpaccio.
Never had moose (or squirrel), but I love venison.

The Chinese invented meatballs anyway.
“Never had moose…had antelope once.”
Ostrich carpaccio at Madiba, anyone?
