One of the many joys I take in being the parent of a ten year old boy is finding new ways to make him laugh or think a little differently about questions and things in the world. I’ve used these techniques over the years:
===
Misconstrue pyetjeve të tij:
I saj: Çfarë dite është kjo?
Baba: Një ditë para se të mërkurën.
S: Nuk, atë ditë të muajit është ajo?
D: Oh, është 4 ditë pas Janar 25.
===
Gudulis atë dhe i thoni atij që ju do të ndalet, kur ai ndalet duke qeshur.
===
Shko poshtë shkallët në dhomë TV dhe shpall, "It’s good to be the daddy." Pastaj, marr atë për të marrë vendin e ngrohtë në shtrat dhe të ndryshojë kanal për diçka të mirë, si kanal Scifi.
===
Read stories out loud. Insert ridiculous sentences in the middle of the story. My favorite is to add "killing him instantly" when the main characters encounters some minor trouble. Për shembull, "the knife slipped in his hand, prerja gishtin e tij tregues, vrarë atë në çast." Nothing quite gets your son out of a complacent and passive listening mode as the main character being killed instantly.
===
Read stories incorrectly. Read sentences backward. The best part of this is that the first couple of times I did this, my son thought he was helping me out by pointing out that I wasn’t reading the words in the right order. The down side is that he really doesn’t want me to read to him any more.
===
Go to Burger King for lunch. My son would eat BK morning, night and day if we let him. When going, tregoni atij, "I know you hate going there, but we simply have no choice." When he tries to explain that he loves BK, talk over him and say things like "We don’t have time to argue about it! We’re going and I don’t want to have a discussion!"
(Kjo më kujton shaka my favorite Borg: "Borger King: We do it our way. Your way is irrelevant." hahaha!)
===
Hap një libër në faqen 9 dhe thonë, "hmm, that’s an odd page".
===
Fill the world with arch enemies. "We’re going to run quick over toe 7-11, arch-enemy of 11-7".
"Your aunt lives in Ringwood, armik hark në qytetin e Squarewood."
===
Ne përzënë deri në Masaçusets nga Nju Xhersi disa herë në vit dhe kjo shpesh merr rreth 5 hours door to door. As we arrive home and pull into the driveway say, "oh, Kam harruar, ne kemi nevojë për të bërë një lëvizje të shpejtë në Home Depot."
===
Kur shikuar një episod të dhunshëm në një emision televiziv (të tilla si heronj), t'i përgjigjesh birit tënd, "some times, në punë, I need to destroy my enemies by burning them alive using the powers of my mind. I don’t like doing it, por ju Gotta bëni atë që ju Gotta bëni."
===
Kur shikuar filmat horror këqija (see "It’s good to be the Daddy" sipër), ascribe improbable motives to the evil character. Për shembull, tell your son that the reason Jason is so angry is because he wants some cake and they won’t let him have any.
===
Explain phone numbers incorrectly. Instead of telling your son to dial "201-111-2222", tell him it’s "2-011-1-12222".
