I have used the doggy voice with my students.. Works though

pmsl!!! very funny stories, glad to hear i'm not the only one who is as daft as a brush!! lol .....lets hope my husband doesn;t get the treatment this weekend when he gets back from work!

Try walking out with OH, stopping at the roadside then looking each way before commanding him "over". He was not impressed. The kids on the other hand are used to it.

When you tell a class of children to SIT! - and are tempted to say Good Boys! when they do.

I have been known to let out a "Good girl!" when receiving homework
I did once shout for one girl to "No! walk by! Close!" when on a field trip. She looked like she was going to walk into the road. It was an automatic reaction Certainly stopped her in her tracks... I suppose I should be glad my crazy tired brain didn't turn to my other phrase in that situation or I would have had the whole class "DOWN!"

I teach teenagers now.. safer

I called Mo by my Grand-daughters name the other day, then when I realised what I had done promptly changed it to the other ones
They know Grandmas mad

pmsl..

i am always commanding Luca, thing is he obeys Bruno flamin doesnt !! lol

Aww
A woman I dogwalk with when her daughter came running up and said she had done something good the woman, a little distracted said 'good girl' and patted her on the head

and I know there is a woman who is clicker training her baby!! (and it is working!!)

These are so funny to read...

I had an incident with my first grandson... He was only about a year old at the time... He and Zenta were both standing facing me, and I told Zenta to Sit... They both sat immediately!

I still find it very difficult not to tell someone to 'sit' when I get to a pedestrian crossing, and wait untill they respond before pushing the button
