Evil Genius Parent Award #19

Mother       of            LEGO. I just found another piece on the floor – with my foot. I completely respect the idea of creative (evil) genius. I love the battle droids that Sinister has been building all school holidays. I love the mini daleks that surrounded the […]

One Rainy Day at a Time

I have received reports from minions in Queensland, Australia. Reports of extreme weather. I would love to claim credit for weather control, but alas – this one is natural causes. At the same time, minions in the UK are having extreme cold. What’s the point of these? Both sets of […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #18

Have you ever stopped and wondered about the life skills you are teaching your spawnlings? Basic life skills that every one learns during their young formative years. Walking. Talking. Big-Baby-Eyes at grandparents. Framing siblings for obvious misdemeanors. What about wartime strategy? Yeah, that is definitely up there for any aspiring […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #17

My spawnlings are boys. Very boyish boys. Noise with dirt. Not afraid to attempt total annihilation. However, gender doesn’t really have a lot to do with it. Mainly because I was pretty much the same around that age. So I’ve been told. Me – I remember being an absolute delight, […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #16

It’s the start of a new year. Wahoo. Just turn the page already, and start with the 2013. In some areas of the world, kids have returned to school over the last week. In other parts of the world, parents ares still thinking of ways to outsmart their spawnlings for […]

One cough at a time

Come closer. I can’t talk very well at the moment. A little closer. Just a little. *cough*  *splutter*  *wheeze*  *cough* Nothing better than germ warfare. Seriously though, I’ve been absolutely sick for the last 2 weeks. And I am so over it. Just before the seasonal “time off work” period […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #15

Yep. Today is Tuesday. Yep. The day after Monday. Well, some crazy idea is floating around that if you are on your best behaviour, some fat freaky guy will give you a present. So, of course – the gullible minions have fallen for this trick. Makes it pretty difficult to […]

Forensic Friday #5 – Crystal Star

Sinister’s teacher was a little unsure of the message behind his ‘End of Year’ Gift for her. (read: not Christmas because we celebrate Solstice instead) Sinister made a Crystal Star. A Borax Crystal Star. She was all, “Oh wow. It’s beautiful!”… until I mentioned that Borax is toxic and she […]

Evil Genius Tool #3 – Pokemon

In the spirit of Christmas/Hanukkah/Solstice/Ninjamas, I walked away from this argument. However, in the spirit of Ninjamas, I definitely knocked her down a peg or two. “Oh EG Mum, what did you pick a fight over this time?” This woman was trying to convince me how Pokemon is evil. Naturally I […]

Evil Genius Parent Award #14

There is only so much “Cars” story-telling I can take. EG Dad says “Cars 2” is just as bad, even if it is about spies and big badda-booms. However, there are limited CDs that EG Inc can agree on for the car. In fact, it’s a toss-up between the torture […]
