This is freakin’ funny! I hope you don’t get any angry emails from this because I know it was all in fun and like you said no children where hurt in the picture. I’m sure they thought it was hilrious that you duct taped their mouths! I remember my mom doing silly things like this and they just made us giggle even more!

You are so going to get complaining emails about this.
LMAO!! This is so funny.
SparklieSunShine’s last blog post..It Started With A Chair
Sigh. I know. I hemmed and hawed about posting it. I’m sure I will get “Child abuse” emails or comments from people who take life WAY too seriously.
Which sucks, because the boys thought it was hilarious, so did I, and it didn’t do one bit of damage to anything. The tape wasn’t even really sticky.
Still? It diffused the HUGE, screaming fight the boys were in the middle of and turned it into a fun, hilarious moment with the kids. Since this blog is my journal, I posted because I want to remember it.
Ha Ha HA HA HA HA HA! *laughing heartily while rolling on the floor*
Rachel (Louisiana)’s last blog post..Correction
That is so funny Loralee
I have much to learn from you.
And you SO will when we play in MN! Shoot me an email w/your phone number so I can call you when I am there. (I’ll know more about my schedule then)
I have always toyed with this idea for the Chicken…hmmm, now that I hear it is fun…may give it a try!
Thanks Loralee!
Heather’s last blog post..This started out as a email to Steph!
Hitting self in head over here.
*WHACK*
Why didn’t I think of that? I could have used that this morning with an 11 month old clingy teething monster. (J/K everyone).
TheAngelForever’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday – No Table Manners
The funny thing about that picture is that in my real life, my 3rd grade teacher did that to a couple of kids in my class–and not as a joke. The kids were apparently talking too much and she took matters into her own hands. She never got in trouble that I know of, but nowdays, you could get fired for that sort of thing.
My kids liked putting tape on their mouths while trying to talk-they thought that was hilarious.

I love it – and I love even more the reason you did it and that it turned screaming into fun. Those are by far the best moments. :)

Definitely top anything I have done with my kidlet.

karen’s last blog post..Reflections
I have a roll of duct tape hanging on a peg right above my chalkboard in my class. I have threatened to duct tape shoes on feet, kids into chairs, my ears shut so I don’t have to listen.
Every week, our principal comes in and makes a big deal about measuring the thickness of the roll to determine how the grade 6′s are doing.
Of course, I have never used it, but we have decided that on the last day of school, we are making a scarecrow version of me and duct taping her into my chair with as many rolls of tape as possible. Someone will call our principal (who incidentally, holds weekly watergun fights with staff and/or students) and we will be hiding and watching for her reaction.
The more, the merrier. Tape on…..
4′s last blog post..Ready for Rio…..
MacGuyver would be proud. That stuff is an incredibly cheap and effective solution to any number of problems. Has anyone thought about sending some to the U.N.?

You sound like such a fun mom to have.

lceel’s last blog post..100 Word Challenge – Hooked – Plus Tower
Merritt has invented the “Halo”- something that clamps onto the kids head, interfacing with his brain and putting him in a catatonic state. Perfect for grocery shopping, visiting neighbors, soap watching time, etc. He just has to find someone to make it, and a way to not get put into jail for it! (ok, it’s all in his head… but he WISHES he could make it!)
Erin Evans Taylor’s last blog post..Mother’s Day Gift Idea
And I thought my purse made out of duct tape was putting the stuff to good use. I can see now that I could have been shutting kids up for years…if only I hadn’t wasted so much making a purse.
Camille’s last blog post..My Best Friend’s Uterus Has a Split Personality
You totally know if I posted this up at my site I’d have the authorities knocking at my door.
Something to do with being an unfit mother and having an inappropriate sense of haha.
Fackers.
I love it. Can I come live with YOU?
I was getting ready to take my food in the other room and I had a fleeting thought about you for whatever reason. I’m thinking about you.
love the picture.
