Political
discourse has eroded into name calling, labeling, and just plain
animosity. Many find this trend disturbing and seek clean conversation
with "the other side." There is nothing wrong with disagreement, but we
are better than this! We have a rule, like many families, in our home
to prevent foul language and name calling. And, trust me, it works!

there any better way to get an argument calmed down than humor? Yes,

the substitute. There is nothing better than yelling at your son, for
poor behavior, and throwing in pickle at the end. Let me demonstrate
from experience, "Will, stop hitting your sister; you are acting like
such a pickle!" And, this causes three reactions.
