Oh, your little urine retribution method wouldn't work with me, Barnard, because if you urinated on the toilet seat and didn't clean up after yourself, then I'd just squat and never touch the seat with my derriere. So, *you'd* be the one sitting on your own piss, unless *you* cleaned it up.
My complaint for today: elementary school teachers giving kids candy for good behavior!!
I had just flossed and brushed my child's teeth after breakfast and dropped him off at his classroom this morning, when two minutes later I saw him pop something into his mouth that the teacher had placed on his desk. It turns out it was a piece of candy given to kids who had displayed good behavior during a field trip yesterday.
So, I went into the classroom and asked the teacher to make sure my child got a drink of water afterwards to rinse out his mouth, and I asked her not to give him candy again but instead use some other non-food method to reward good behavior, if they want to reward behavior.
As any dentist would say, you don't want kids eating candy (or any other snack that sticks to teeth and encourages bacterial growth) and then not brushing their teeth afterward. This isn't the Middle Ages. Schools should know this stuff!
I find it ironic that parents, who I think usually know that for dental and behavioral reasons it isn't good to give children candy as rewards for good behavior, must ask the EDUCATORS not to give candy to children.
