    Five Ways to Upset a Goober

    1.  Refuse to accept your Goober's sloppy math paper.

    2.  Accept your Goober's neat math paper and grade it, but don't mark the page.  Hand the page back to your Goober and say, "You missed seven.  I'm not telling you which ones."

    3.  Repeat until they are all correct.

    4.  Allow a Goober to practice piano while you are in the shower.  Take your sweet, sweet time and listen to said Goober mess around on the piano instead of practice.  Walk in and say, "Okay, Goober, it's time to practice piano now," and reset the timer.

    5.  Eat the last jar of yogurt.

     

    Your Goober will not thank you for any of this, but you, dear reader, will feel much better.  You might even find the strength to fight another day.

    I love it. I see that Sheri copied you, since I am a stalker, I might do this to.

    Number 2 is my favorite. I think there would be mutiny if I did that one. LOL
