I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

Thank you, @Zig!
It is possible, @georgiewood. There are only a few people with at least that many posts, and Anna and AG are the only relatively new ones.

Snip: I get ignored by everyone in my house
Aww, I don’t believe that for a second.
Aww, I don’t believe that for a second.I live with a three-year-old and a one-year-old. I have daily conversations with the boy that go: “Ted, it’s breakfast time. Would you come through please? Ted. It’s breakfast time. No, it’s breakfast time. Now. No, we can’t watch another Lego Star Wars, it’s breakfast time. Stop drawing on your face. Ted! Now! Ted, would you please just stop that and come through?”
That’s usually the point of desperation where I pick him up and plonk him at the table. You can substitute breakfast time for most activities – young kids aren’t well known for compliance and obedience. At least, mine aren’t. Perhaps I should invest in a cattle prod.

Sounds like you need Ahhh Girl to come babysit for you for a while. The parents I babysat for always asked me why their kids obeyed me but wouldn’t obey them. What I can’t figure out is why I could work that magic while I was babysitting, but I couldn’t transfer that skill into the classroom setting. I never could control a classroom full of squirming under 8’s.

I never could control a classroom full of squirming under 8’s.
Ok, the highlight-delete isn’t working inside of quote boxes, so just realize that this is a response to only the last paragraph…
My mom was an elementary school teacher for 30 years, k through 3rd, and since I got along well with adults I was present at the staff parties my mom would give. I heard lots of stories. We play bridge with a teacher Thursday nights, and hear her (somewhat embellished and whiny) stories.
K and 1st are tough grades, tough tough grades. There is no “working at your desk while the kids work at theirs”. It’s a constant run from crisis to crisis (fights, spilled glue, getting a new paper cuz the kid tore it up or scribbled all over it or whatever). K is also when child abuse is usually discovered, and I know some absolutely horrid stories which I will spare you.
As a teacher’s aide, I was able to control a 3rd grade class for as long as half an hour sometimes!
As far as babysitters, the theory I’ve heard espoused most is that kids know what they can get away with with their parents, and do so. A babysitter is someone new, and if he/she’s a good babysitter, he/she will start off not letting the kids get away with stuff and it continues. All parents let their kids get away with stuff they probably shouldn’t, I think (I have 4 myself – 3 in diapers for 9 months!, though they are 16-21 now).
As far as an on-topic contribution, all I can say is that while on occasion I do occasionally have a bbible moment, I’m not yet a hard-core Beatles Bibler
