Ok, so yesterday I was looking thru the fridge for "what to make for dinner" and behind me were 3 little boys whining and just being pills, when my eyes came across "El Yucateco".
"El Yucateco" is a hot sauce on the upper right hand door. A thought came into my mind, and out went the words, "If you 3 keep this up you are getting El Yucateco on your tongues"! They then asked, "What is El Yucateco"? I explained that it is a hot sauce, that is filled with spices and if they whine or argue I will put the hot sauce on their tongues. Fear and I do mean fear filled their expressions. Suddenly, smiles came, and nice words came, it was instant, and amazing. Cody, Steven and Luke fear El Yucateco, but I only have to ask once and the whining stops. They have yet to taste the hot sauce, so for now the threat is working. I'll let you know if and when we have to use it.
What are some things you do to help keep the peace at your home???

Our neighbor's 4 year old spit on a kid in his pre-school and his parents used hot sauce for 15 seconds... he cried before, during and after... he explained everything to Jill and myself and he is totally serious when he says he'll never do it again. He knows what will happen if he spits again. Good luck and I want to hear about it if you need to use it.
