Status: offline 		As a crowded airliner is about to take off, the peace is shattered by a 5-year-old boy who picks that moment to throw a wild temper tantrum. No matter what his frustrated, embarrassed mother does to try to calm him down, the boy continues to scream furiously and kick the seats around him.

Suddenly, from the rear of the plane, an elderly man in the uniform of an Air Force General is seen slowly walking forward up the aisle. Stopping the flustered mother with an upraised hand, the white-haired, courtly, soft-spoken General leans down and, motioning toward his chest, whispers something into the boy's ear.

Instantly, the boy calms down, gently takes his mother's hand, and quietly fastens his seat belt. All the other passengers burst into spontaneous applause.

As the General slowly makes his way back to his seat, one of the cabin attendants touches his sleeve. "Excuse me, General," she asks quietly, "but could I ask you what magic words you used on that little boy?"

The old man smiles serenely and gently confides, "I showed him my pilot's wings, service stars, and battle ribbons, and explained that they entitle me to throw one passenger out the plane door on any flight I choose."

Status: offline 		Many in America today think it's improper to spank children. So, I tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of 'those moments;' and I've one that is very effective for me. I just take the child for a car ride and talk a little bit.



It seems to work pretty well. Some say it's the vibration from the car and others say it's the time away from distractions (such as TV, video games, computer, IPod, etc.). Either way, my kids usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together.



In case you would like to use the technique, I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son.

Sincerely,
Your Friend












I think this will work with grandchildren, nieces, and nephews as well.

Status: offline 		lol i remember that picture of the boy on the windshield 5 years ago. The punch line was that it was the drivers own reflection in the window of his/her own temper tantrum regarding gas prices.
