Well i'm either council or a middle class wker - be great if that could be cleared up.

Any of you lot got young children, or ever had contact with one by the way? For some reason I suspect not.....

Yes two kids and a niece and two nephews, not heardof this until today.

Want to make kids behave in the run up to Christmas?
Wrap up some boxes filled with bits of wood as Christmas presents and put them under the Christmas tree. Every time a child misbehaves, put one on the fire.

flaw is not many people have open fires these days

I get the idea of putting them on the fire as the threat of which would certainly make the kids behave, but what's with the earlier bit about wrapping up bits of wood?

The kids will undoubtedly be picking the boxes up and shaking them to try and guess what's in them, so an empty box won't work. Wood makes the package more credible and is combustible.

My wife said: "Please go to the store and buy a pint of milk and if they have eggs, get six."
I came back with 6 pints of milk and she said, "why in the hell did you buy six pints of milk?"

I am pretty sure the whole concept is for adults to post pics on facebook etc to show how "fun" they are.....

Ah must of missed this then, first I saw of it was a couple posting them for their kids.

I can think of better things to be doing.

One of the better things you could be doing would be making sure your kids know it's not 'must of' but is in fact 'must have ' or the shortened 'must've'.

Or I could make sure I'm not a pedantic idiot because life is far too short.
