Week 14 Theme #2 – Option 2

Effective and Ineffective Ways to Keep Kids Quiet So You Can Write a Paper

Effective*:
4. Duct tape.
a. Cover mouths and affix them to walls or furniture.
5. Burlap sacks, heavy stones and a deep pond.
a. Place in sack, add stone, tie tight, drop in pond.
6. Washer and Dryer.
a. One for each child or if you have only one child or more then two feel free to use the rinse cycle…spin well.

Ineffective:
4. Ask the oldest child to babysit.
a. The power will go to their head and both will end up screaming and crying loader then before you shifted the control.
5. Occupy them with food, tv, books or games.
a. Their will be a food fight, they will argue over the show, the books will become objects to hurl and they will want you to play the games with them.
6. Give them all their birthday gifts, Christmas gifts and any other gifts early.
a. Assuming you have any, it will only occupy them for 30 seconds per gift: 15 seconds to open (if you are lucky) and 15 seconds to become bored with it.

  1. Hmmm, wasn't sure which way was better of the two options...with or without? What's your take?

  2. The second one is richer with the added material but the added material in that outline form doesn't work; it all gets cumbersome and the reader is trying to work out the outline rather than focus on the content.

    So, I'd say the first version is more effective at getting to the reader, but the second has more potential but ought to be handled as essay rather than mock-instructions.
