{i'll review the video}

it's my secret go-to to get the kids to not lie to me.  i know.  i know.  i know.  stop saying it.  i know.  it's weird and kind of well, weird.  it just happened one day.  it just popped out.  and it worked.  and it's worked every single time since.

i was asking someone about something and they were clearly lying.  i work security at work and for some reason i just said "tell me or i'll review the video". and omg it worked.  guys.  it worked.  it works.

for example....

chloe was at the table being a brat and saying "nuh uh" at everything one of her brothers or sister said to her.

chloe:  "nuh uh"
me: "chloe knock it off.  be nice to your family".
someone else.  "blah blah blah."
chloe:  "nuh uh!"
me:  "chloe come here!!!  did you just say nuh uh after i told you not to."
chloe:  "no."
me:  "really???????????????????????!"
chloe:  "no."
me:  "chloe, i'm going to review the video."
chloe:  "i did."
me:  "go to bed."

see??  totally works.

do you use anything wacky to get your kids to behave or tell the truth?
