Hey! Ah-hah Uh-huh!

Yeah I like the "ehs" you find in hip hop music as well as from a Canadian's mouth. And I like the "EH, ah-hah, uh-huh" you find the in Jay-z's song "New york". Lol Get over it. That's just me.

To the point now, ol' chap!

I hate it when you're home with six siblings and one sibling likes to question your authority because ONE kid questions your authority then ALL THE REST of the kids think so.

You know how in families all the siblings are close to each other but there's some that are closer to the others, and therefore tend to cling to specific(s) sibling(s)? If right now you're like "huh?". Then if you've ever read books like: Pride and Prjeudice OR Little Women you'll know then what I'm talking about. You know what I mean. You see in P&P how Elizabeth and Jane are very close to each other. They ask the other for their opinion and advice. Yet at the same time they have a sense of closeness with all their other sisters. You also see how Kitty and Lidia are rather close..and yet Mary is added in that "bunch" too sometimes. (:

In Little Women Joe and Beth are close, Meg and Amy are close. Yet as a whole (group, bunch, set,*of sisters*) they are close together.

In my family it's like that too but we lean more towards "alltogetherness" then the individual groupness. Perhaps this will change as time goes on. Usually we divide ourselves into 2 groups, GROUP (A) The "big" kids (Jules, Jake, and I). GROUP (B) The "babies" (i.e. Jonah, Jami, Jess).

If we were to have individual "pairs" it'd be something like this: Lissie: Me, and Jess and then; Jules and me. Jules: Jules and Me, Jules and Jonah..or Jami..both.. Jake: Jonah and Jake (sometimes) Jami. Jami: Jami and Jess, Jami and Jonah, and sometimes with Jake and lots of times with Jules. Jessi: Jess, Me; Jess and Jami; Jess and Jonah and Jami as a group of three, Josiah: Well he's with everyone!!

Anyways. Yeah. So when your 10 yo brother questions your authority his "partner" Jonah decides he doesn't have to listen to me either.

Hmm..hold up a minute...

'HEYYYYYYYYYYYY!! AH-HAH, UH-HUH...YO. I'M IN CHARGE HERE..WHILE THE PARENTS ARE GONE. AND EVEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT I'VE BEEN GIVEN SOME AUTHORITY..."

Shuddup is sometimes a good phrase...when said to the person you've pulled aside. Because um sometimes thats what the person needs to do is just shuddddup! Because then these little ones think they can "do" what they've "seen" being "done" which isn't always "good".

SO the next time a sibling questions your authority..just sing Jay-z's "EH Ah-hah uh-huh"..so as to cool down..and THEN you can discreetly pull your bro/sibling aside and be like "if you think that what I'm doing isn't right pull me aside don't shout it out "You're wrong" or whatever because then everyone else thinks they can do it.."

(; So in the end Jay-z's music IS useful!! (Well at least that particular song "NEW YORK") lol!!
