What are you doing
Don’t eat that
Stop that
Get over here
Get that out of your mouth
Go lay down
Go outside
Get inside
Don’t roll in that
Get out of the houseplants
Don’t lick that
Don’t drink that
Quit playing with that
Get out of the road
Quit licking me
Get your nose out of my butt
Quit playing in the bed
No running in the house
Leave that cat alone
What do you have in your mouth
Could you just hush for a minute
Get to bed and go to sleep
Things people have said
to toddlers and their dogs

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.
