>I'm Gonna Teach Her How to Flick 'Em!

>You just never know who you’ll meet in line at Panera Bread.
So yesterday, I’m standing in line, hoping that my wiggly 5-year old daughter doesn’t knock down the cookie display, when her booty-shaking antics attract the amused attention of the man behind us. He explains that he has raised 3 daughters himself and that my little mover reminds him of his eldest.
This trip down memory lane brings him to share with me several anecdotes (it was a long lunch-rush line!) about the trouble that his first-born created over the years. From demanding money (no $1’s, Daddy!) to sneaking around with boyfriends, he laughingly recalled the struggles he went through with his lawyer-to-be eldest daughter.
Just when it was my turn to order, he shared with me the line that this Blog was waiting for:
“She has a daughter of her own now,” he smiled. “So guess who taught their grandchild how to pick her nose in public?”
He laughed with a self-satisfied grin and a classic angry smile.
As I smiled, waved and turned my back to place my order at the counter, he guffawed, “Next, I’m gonna teach her how to flick ’em!”
Sometimes, passive aggressive revenge is years in the making, but look out, girls…dad is plotting!

>What’s Your Anger Expression Style?

>Is your daughter the type to come right out and tell you when she is feeling angry? Does she stuff her anger inside? Perhaps she is most likely to express her feelings in sneaky ways. Or maybe, when she is mad, the whole world knows about it—and better step aside! Whatever your child’s anger style, chances are she has developed it over the years and modeled it after…gulp…much-loved family members.

>If You Say One More Word… Passive Aggressive Comments From the Back Seat!

>One of the funniest gals I know relayed this story about her son who is following in her comic footsteps…much to his demise in this instance:
The family of four is on a 5-minute drive to a nearby restaurant for a Valentine’s Day dinner. Starting on minute one, the 4-year old son starts talking back to his father and just being disrespectful, in general. By minute four, approaching the restaurant parking lot, the dad has had it.
Dad: That’s enough, Jack. No more talking back. If you say one more word, I’m going to turn this car around and take you home, and there will be no Valentine’s Day dinner for you.
Jack: Thinks for a moment. Then, yells, “A!”
Dad: Turns the car abruptly and begins to head back towards home. “You are done! I am bringing you home.”
Jack: But Dad! I only said “A!” That’s not a word, it’s only a letter!
Poor Jack–he couldn’t resist that passive aggressive little dig at his dad, even at the known risk of losing dinner at his favorite restaurant. Classic Level 5 Self-depreciation!!

>I can always rationalize my embarrassing taste in Reality TV by claiming that it’s all for “research purposes.” Afterall, I get all my best passive aggressive behavior examples from watching the likes of The Bachelor, Real Housewives, etc.
Here’s a great clip from ABC’s The Bachelor. Watch how one group of girls creates doubt in the mind of Michelle, the girl that the Bachelor has chosen for his coveted one-on-one date. Pay particular attention to the classic Angry Smile and (background cackle!) of the bearer of the bad news suggestion:
