Yes it occassionally happens. One of the imps will act out, smart off or generally cause havoc at 'the Playground' and a punishment will ensue (we have to because it spelled out midway through the fourth chapter of the official 'Idiot's Guide of How to be the Best Joy Sucker in 12 Easy Steps' manual).
Our nieghbors use the same relative technique, namely taking away something from the imps that they truly enjoy; video games, t.v., and/or various electronic devices.
However, that is not how WE roll here at 'the Playground'! Here we shout things like:
*Fine, don't wear your shoes to the car!
*Put that book down!
*No! I don't want a hug/kiss!
Yep, nothing can get the imps attention like depriving them of the essentials.
By the by, I was wandering through the house and realized how much JK Rowling has invaded our space.
There were open copies of Harry Potter books in the following rooms:
1)Upstairs bath - ...Half-Blood Prince
2)Imps' bedroom - ...Deathly Hallows
3)Family Room- ...Chamber of Secrets
4)DVD Player- ...Goblet of Fire
5)Car CD Player- ...Deathly Hallows
I really need the new season of Dr. Who to start...or Major League Baseball, either one....

When it's punishment time at the Playground

Liv is on a hiatus from Harry and I am mourning him. She is now reading fairy books, like The Red Fairy Book and The Golden Fairy Book. I am trying to hide my disappointment. Harry, how we loved ye....
I too am anxious for baseball to start.
I'm greeted every morning to Harry shooting a patronus at me from my son's poster on his door.
Wow, that's a lot of Harry
