Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you

  • Something humourous that happened to you

  • Something frustrating that happened to you

  • A quick question

  • A request for recommendations

  • Pictures of your pet

  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant

  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Sadly I don't think my children would fall for it.. I've tried the "Who can be quiet the longest" and it never worked!

Who can be quiet the longest works briefly on my kids, the only problem is their capability is pretty low.

I really like:

Okay kids, we're going to take a nap and then when we wake up we're going to clean the house!

They nap for ages...

Okay, you win. That's brilliant!

Oooh, I'm going to have to try that one! Though they might actually want to clean the house since I often use "we can't do until the house is clean", so there might be an expectation of doing fun things!
