Charlene has been complaining about some of my attitudes towards kids recently, notably my claim that duct tape is vastly underrated as a child-rearing aid. An Argentine teacher gagged 70 students, sounds like a woman after my own heart: "But some parents defended the state school teacher, saying she did a good job and that sticking up their noisy kids' mouths with tape was just a game."

I know a first grade teacher who decided to retire because her class was talkative to the point of exaspiration. I offered her duct tape on more than one occassion, but she didn't seem to think it would go over well with the more PC, and obviously vocal, parents.

Okey dokey. First of all the reason I wanna keep them clothed is not a nudity issue it's a "not potty trained issue" <giggle> Second... Dan your kinda a hairy guy. I would think Duct tape activites with you would cause nearly fatal bleeding...

Yeah, and I really like it when someone uses duct tape to... whoops. I guess that's an "overshare", huh?

I'm hitting the back side of forty and I'm still in that phase, especially during the summer. ;-)

Actually as a "owner" of a couple of 2.5 year olds I have used duct tape on them 3 times. They were going through this phase where they would take all their clothes off at night. A little duct tape across the pajams zipper was the only way I could keep them clothed through the night.

I don't see a problem. What harm can be done with duct tape as long as the nose is kept clear for breathing?
