There is nothing quite like giggle therapy

nasty words from 2 of our kids at work. Very nasty words, totally nasty from the pit kind of talk, some of it totally below the belt and all in front of an 11 year old! Argh! Most of it was directed at me and at trying to get me mad. I can't say I was mature enough to pick up my tea and go and eat elsewhere. I did rise to some of the bait. I didn't get mad though and they have sanctions for their stinking behaviour and words. I'm not sure it'll mean much though. I can see one or the other or both doing the same at another time, whether at me or someone else.
I was so very tense after that I was still worked up over an hour later, then I asked a few people to pray (via text mesage, not that I'm allowed to use my mobile at all during work... but needs must) and about half an hour down the line one of the other kids was being cheeky and cracking idiot joke after idiot joke, with the occasional funny one in between. Most of it involved him saying 'your mom' this, that or the other and I told him any number of times that he needs to find a better set of jokes. Anyhow, I found myself relaxing at last. He was so persistant in it! His endless smiley gabbling also did the job.
The cheek of it :)
