Don't tell me it gets HARDER - LOL!!!!!

My grandmother (evil b!tch that she is) had a clever way of stopping me in my tracks - she would show me my sulky face in a mrror and say look at your fish face, you look so silly! My mum similarly used to say "oh goodness me, everyone must be saying what a silly bad behaved girl you are - look, all the people are looking at you" (this esp works in public).

Not sure if you want to develop a social stigma complex in your kid (are you looking at me??? huh! are you talkin about me??) but it all helps, huh?

Ahh, us Junies are a fun lot, aren't we Nickel (mwah!)
