The secret of La Chancla
I have often wondered and remarked on how well-behaved Latino children are. People will say to me something along the lines of, "The whole family goes grocery shopping together." And I will say, "Notice how evenly tempered the children are, how well-behaved. I think it is because of that." But the real secret to that is la chancla, observe.

Ahh...latinas as ninja.
My mother did much the same, but with books. To this day I won't buy hardcovers.
I have to agree with the first comment at the leak - Latino kids can be as rowdy as anybody's, but the thing with the flip-flop has been done by nuns and teachers with erasers forever.
Don't know where ed went to school but the nuns in my school didn't wear flip flops.
The throw chain is for the transition to off leash.
"Nuns and teachers with erasers".
Where did I say nuns with flip-flops?
I drive through Little Guatemala every workday and the women exist in a state of perpetual pregnancy, so far as I can tell.
The children already born must be fully cognizant of their replaceability.
Tends to promote good behavior, one would expect.
Speak to the shoe.
CEO-MMP,
My mother did much the same, but with books.
My foster mother did the same with dirt clots.
There's a message in there somewhere,...
LOL
The thing about going out with a bunch of kids all at once is that you have to keep control from the get-go... you do things like making them walk in lines in a particular order or keep one hand on the grocery cart at all times.
A single child can't run in more than one direction at once or get into more things than you can intercept at once.
