You really can't go home again

At the Container Store:

Quinn: "Dad! Dad! Look at this footlocker!"
Me: "Wow! I do believe that's big enough for you to fit in!"
Quinn: "If I scrunched up, maybe."
Me: "We could use that to ship you off to the gypsies."
Quinn (hopeful): "Can we get it?"

that is so cool.

seriously: it'd be worth it just to see his reaction to actually shipping him off to the Gypsies.

I consider the container store to be one of the most dangerous establishments known to mankind.

To mankind's wallet, at least.

I have a friend in the hs community down here that says quirky things to her kid a 10 yo boy with autism. Things like I am going to have to sell you on ebay again if you do not knock it off and he giggles incessantly. Or do I have to rip your intestines out through your butt again or are you going to behave. Her son finds it so funny! I think I will tell her about the container store, seems useful.

I thought you were going to sell him to the Irish-I recall E threatening that at least once. Maybe the two of you should compromise and sell him to the Tinkers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinkers).

I never would have used "Gypsies", myself, as I long ago read an impassioned account of Roma oppression. What *I* usually threaten to sell them to is the Republicans.
