First of all, let me just apologize for being a horrible blogger lately :(. After having my sister and her family in town the end of July and then going to Midland for two weeks, I have been nothing short of busy and a bit overwhelmed with the amount of pictures I have to go through. So I have a few blogs planned and in the works, but nothing ready to publish. Hopefully soon!! In the meantime, this little ditty will have to do.
We have had a bit of a struggle recently with Jack minding and following directions. It's nothing major but we have definitely stressed manners and obedience more than usual. So when the following scenario occurred today, I couldn't help but crack up a bit:
Jack brought his police car downstairs after his nap today and decided he wanted to play "policeman /jail" with some of his toys. My job was to set toy people around the house in situations where they would be reprimanded by the police for breaking the law. I obliged and watched jack pick up the people one by one and take them to "jail" (the pirate ship). What I didn't expect was how politely the policeman would be talking to the criminals.
Policeman: Excuse me sir. Can you step over to the other side of the car please?
Criminal: Of course.
Policeman: Come with me please. You need to go to jail because you've made some bad choices.
Criminal: Oh, of course. I'm sorry. I won't do that again.
Ha! If only it were that easy with real criminals, right?
OH, so cute. I hope Jack gives instructions to the POLICE out there! What's the saying, "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar?'
