How about a 9 yo little brat...ah, boy? I was smoking OUTSIDE. He poked his head out of the house to tell me to "watch my smoking" because of his asthma. He was a little whiner in general...demanded PB&J because he refused to eat turkey and trimmings for Thanksgiving. (Everything except dessert that is). Wasn't his house either.

When my daughter was in middle school, the teachers started that 'make your parents quit smoking' garbage.

She would come home and stick her nose in the air and told us we had to stop smoking.

I said "Listen. I smoked long before you were born, so knock it off." She did.

LOL! I'm waiting for the teachers to try that with my Sons. I may just send them back to school with a note that says, "Please explain where the subject matter states, "Reading, Writing, Arithmatic, imposition and propaganda."

Yeah, I remember those D.A.R.E. classes, along with the annual celebration of the Great American Smokeout when I was in school. I remember telling my parents about it, and they explained the facts to me. :)

When I was a preschooler, though, my mom says I would always find her (never my father's) cigarettes, shred them and flush them down the toilet! LOL

I'm going on 47, and I remember seeing commercials when I was a kid....so I bugged my parents too. My mother (one of those PITA ex-smokers) loves to remind me. lol. She never came up with that great answer you had. :)
