So Thankful For Mrs. Franks.

I clearly know the bible says not to provoke your children unto wrath. I get it. But, it doesn't say we can't torment them a little

. Ha! So maybe that's why my kids are so bad. It's clearly me and Maynard's fault. However, I do what I have to to keep my kids in line at desparate times. Such as, the "kid" refuses to buckle up. So I immediately pull up to the police station. This has worked like a charm several times for all 3 of mine throughout the years. Oh, and what about Mr. Walmart who watches us on a camera to make sure we behave while shopping. Don't forget about the bad man who tries to come in if a kid opens the front door for strangers. Don't act innocent, ya'll. I know you have tactics with your kids. We can't whip them in public so whatever works, go for it. I would like to introduce you to a family friend of mine, Mrs. Franks. I have never met her or ever seen her, but we have talked lots of times. It all began when Josiah was a toddler. We have called on her and God's help many times. You see, Mrs. Franks doesn't really exist. My kids don't know that. It has lost its effect somewhat on Josiah and Titus as they grow older, but they are still a little unsure. It is working wonders with Amelia, Hallelujah! I have Mrs. Franks number stored in my phone. It's really the time n temp #. Ha! Anyway, I just use the voice command, "CALL MRS. FRANKS". The phone repeats it and it begins to dial. Amelia stops dead in her tracks. I have used her with all 3 of my kids and they have all been equally scared of her. One day Josiah was so bad I called Mrs. Franks up and actually called Melissa, my sister. I hinted what was going on and I put her on the phone with him. Mrs. Franks lined him out real good and he was a believer. My only downfall I've had with this is some older kids found out aboher and they ran it into the ground. They started using it on my kids and it got old for them and lost the effectiveness. I had to call up Mrs. Franks today while at the drs office. Amelia and Titus have strep, aarrgghh!yway, Amelia was out of control and wouldn't listen. So I dialed up Mrs. Franks and would you believe it? She was right out in the waiting room. Amelia couldn't be more distressed. Ha! See the above picture. It's Amelia hiding her eyes from Mrs. Franks while Titus is hollering for Mrs. Franks to come get Amelia. Ha! So let's hear it? What works for you or did work? This is normal, right? Ha!
