electronic ritalin

electronic devices given to children - I-pods, cell phones, DVDs in cars, X-Box, Play Station, Nintendo, etc - to keep them quiet & busy - can range from a blessing to a curse

"Honey, did you bring the electronic ritalin? This is going to be a twelve hour drive"

"Yes the boys picked out a dozen DVDs and brought their I-Phone chargers"

"Now we can discuss every life issue in privacy and fall in love again"

"What do we do when the DVDs run out? Listen to their stories and fall in love with them again"

watch this

Something said right before a person does something amazingly stupid.

In the military it takes a quantum leap. with high explosives, high performance aircraft and situations that will get you killed in a heartbeat.

along with "based on my experience" "I've made a decision" "trust me" and "watch this"

It reaches another level if the MFer is smiling, chuckling or laughting.

The most dangerous thing in the US Army is a warrant officer AH-64 Apache pilot chuckling and saying "watch this"
