[quote=Anonymous]Some of the expressions our kids' favorite teachers used have become part of our family vocabulary. For example, my daughter's first-grade teacher, who grew up in an Italian n-hood in Pittsburgh. used to say "Mama mia!" whenever the kids were getting out of hand. It definitely caught their attention. Another teacher, who hated tattling, would say "I don't care if X is tap-dancing naked on the head of a chicken, I don't want you tattling to me about it." OP, I lalso +ove your use of the word "shenanigans" -- reminds me of the scene in "Good Will Hunting" when George Plympton as a clueless shrink admonishes Will (Matt Damon), "No more shenanigans, no more tomfoolery, no more ballyhoo." My teens love this quote and use it all the time on each other. [/quote]
