secrets to successful child rearing based on Mad Max movies

[BigMcLargehuge]

Mrs. McLargehuge never ceases to amaze me with her wit and insight. Last night during dinner Ian was lollygagging and wanted to throw his rice at Meg rather than eat after a protracted period of not eating. Normally on Tuesday nights he accompanies me to Kuhapdo class, but after his constant misbehavior yesterday I told him that he was spending the night home with his Mother and Sister.

He was not happy and appealed to Mrs. McLargehuge. Her reply -

"Bust a deal, face the wheel!"

I cracked up, and realized that she had used Mad Max references at least a dozen times in the last month or so, and weirder, as far as I know she's never seen ALL of the Mad Max movies, we don't own them, and they aren't on cable all that much yet her comments were from the three different films.

Her comments on bath night as she places Meg in the tub as Ian is finishing up and he doesn't want to get out of the tub.

"Two men enter, one man leaves."

Her comments on Meg flipping her tricycle over and going apoplectic on the carpet.

"That's not the Goose!"

She's also referred to Ian's occasional chocolate induced rampages as "Toecutter nights"...

And inevitable, in the midst of breaking up fisticuffs between Ian and his cousin Nick, in her best gruff voice -

"Just walk away."

I tell you sometimes I wonder how the hell I ended up so lucky as to be married to Mrs. McLargehuge.

3. This is probably OK...

...as long as:

a) Ian doesn't try to set Meg on fire after flipping the tricycle (like the Toecutter's lackey did to the Goose)

and b) It doesn't lead to childrearing based on either Apocalypto or Passion of the Christ (like Mel Gibson's career)
