My friend Marriand told me once that whenever her son Andrew acts up in the car she threatens to throw his toys out the window, and has actually done it a couple of times. (If you're ever in Vegas and see toys on the side of the road, they're probably her son's. :) j/k)
Anyways, Carter has been struggling with listening to me lately. He could totally care less about anything that I say, and just does what he wants. I'm getting tired of it. Plus, he has been eating so much junk lately and won't eat good food so I have been trying to eliminate all junk. Well, he got a Rice Krispie treat today from school for some one's birthday. I told him he could eat it after he ate his lunch. He didn't listen and started eating it. I got so mad I stopped the car and told him to give it to me. He started yelling "NO!" and holding it up in the air so I couldn't reach it. Well, I put the car in park and reached back and grabbed it. Then he started screaming and freaking out so I pulled a Marianne, I THREW IT OUT THE WINDOW! He was so mad at me, but I wanted to show him I was serious. I think now he will think twice-especially if I threaten to throw his things out the window! Once we got home he kept telling me that his teacher Mrs. Johnson wanted the Rice Krispie treat.
I feel a little guilty about littering. I HATE it when people litter-even gum, and I was a total hypocrite today.

That's awesome! I don't think you're mean, I think you're funny! Once I have kids, you'll probably be my hero!
One day I was done with toys all over my house I threatened that if Jax didn't clean them up I would throw them away. Well he didn't. I packed up every toy I could find and threw them away. He only missed them for a day and now we don't have as many toys to pick up. I think what you did was a great idea!
Way to be strong! Don't worry, I'm sure some birds or squirrels really enjoyed your littering. :o)
We've totally chucked toys. We've also packed them up and put them away. They never even miss them.
Ok I could not stop laughing. I really wish that I would have been in the car behind you that would of been so funny. I also have threatned the girls to throw there toys away, one day I packed them all in a sack and put them in a closet for a week and they were so sad.
