Ah, go ahead and be crude.....I know what you're thinking, my thoughts, too....but, it's all in the eye of the beholder! An odd picture, huh? Is this what gnomes do for fun? I wonder? Getty up, bugs!

I had a young online friend in Australia who told his irritating little brother that naughty kids get turned into garden gnomes. The kid got so frightened that he started to behave!
I wish I had thought of that when my son was young and had a red-headed temper!Here's more flowers and some gnomes and faeries. (Isn't that Halloween costume darling?)

I thought that too, see you can really see the bunny's legs.
lol... Tigger, with my vision, all that back part is merging together to look like it belongs to the gnome! I'm just being silly, though.
Becke -- be careful with that coffee!

The only mythical creature I was threatened with was the "boogeyman". That and Santa's delivery of coal.
My mom used it, up until the point
Labyrinth came out. And I said "gee mommy looks like fun to be taken by the goblins".

Checkmated her, didn't you? Smart child. What threat did she replace that one with?

Bad repeated behavior was punished by enforced reading and required reports on Dickens' books. Allowance, toys, TV, trips, outside play banned. "Sit, read, 200 words". (shudder) Still to this day can't stand Dickens. But I whip up an essay in mins. Helped by collage.
