I love it!! I've done similar things that have finally relayed to my kids just how foolish their faux pas was!!

So, you're not just supposed to slap your kid when they say something like that?

Good for you, Flit.
I had a hard time coping with those teenage years and had one child in particular who was very good at pushing my buttons. I'm the kind of person who always thinks of responses like that way too late. I like your style!

Remember the Jeff Foxworthy bit where the mother asks hiim if he was born in a barn and he answers no like a lamb?

This is great stuff flit.

This is hilarious. I bet your daughter was not the least bit amused. Good chuckle out of this one, Flit.

Flit, I just LOL'd. That's probably the greatest way of dealing with an angry child that I've ever heard :)

Yup. I'm just so glad I'm this far past that time in my life.

Yet, I'm not so sure I'm past that point in my life. My youngest daughter is 28 and I still get this from her and her 33 yo sister. It just makes me tired.

I'm glad my baby is a boy. At 24, he respects and loves me. That's all I ask.

I still get it from the 23yo .... occassionally ... much easier to deal with when they no longer live at home though!

OMG, if I can't imagine what would have happened if I had called my mom that! I would have probably been safe if it was just around her, but if my dad heard it...well, let's just assume that I wouldn't be here right now.

You handled it so well!
