GENIUS!
I wish I had thought of that years ago. You are the queen if it works again.
Bwahahahahaha! Awesome. :-)
Fortunately I don’t have too much of a problem getting my teen to go to bed, but I love this ‘technique’ should I ever have to persuade him to do something. Brilliant!
Excellent. I will be trying this tonight!
Absolutely Brilliant!
Thank you….we have been suffering from the teens up at all hours syndrome in our home.
Haaahaaaaaaa! I am going to try this with my teenage late-night owl of a daughter! Cracks me up! ;)
Love, Love, Love this. I will be stealing this the next time my almost 12 year old doesn’t go to bed!
I MUST remember this.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I am SO writing this one down to remember to use!!
Thanks!!

So, would you have…walked around naked…if he didn’t? I must know! HEHE brilliant threat ;D
NOW I know what trick to use! Of course, I’m sure my husband will somehow bribe my teenager to stay up just so I’ll walk around the house naked…
That’s hysterical! I don’t think I’d have the guts to threaten that though. Let alone follow through with it. Good for you!
OMG. DYING laughing at this. Pure brilliance.
All my parents had to do to clear the room/top floor/entire house was even *mention* the word sex… ;)
you should write a book about your experiences, lor. you’d make a fortune. you’re totally hilarious. i love it!
that is so awesome. i’m impressed he didn’t challenge you to see just how serious you were.
I’m not sure that would work in my family, as I already parade my nakedness around pretty regularly. I guess we’re all lucky that I don’t tend to answer the door, or the UPS man would be getting an eyefull.
Right on. It always worked for me – which I could never understand, given that all we had were boys.
Um, I’m still up walking around – just sayin’
Jake (my 14 yo) agrees that this is the BEST way to get your teenage boy to go to bed. Another is to start kissing your husband and getting all mooshy/suggestive, while the teen runs from the room screaming, “THAT IS SO WRONG!!!”
I told my sister-in-law about this. She has 5 boys. And 3 girls. The girls wouldn’t care, but my brother could always threaten it.
Yeah, she said it was GENIUS! I agree.
BWAHAHAHA!!! I am so gonna try this in a couple of years!
