Let this be a lesson

Apr 10, 2007 09:30

The scene: I'm in the kitchen, getting drinks for the kids, while Hunter and Jacob play in the back yard. The door's open, so I can hear if anything happens. Then an ear-splitting shriek rips through the air. Before I can make it to the back door, Hunter comes clomping in, pulling a sobbing, screaming Jacob behind him ( Read more... )

Good song.

Cacti are well-guarded against insult in general ;)

Very much so. Jacob says they're "bad" and they "bite" which, of course, amuses Hunter to no end. I have to admit to having to fight to keep from laughing myself.

Ahahaha, poor thing. That must've been fairly traumatizing, I hope he got a cookie for bravery.

_karlurban_ April 10 2007, 17:23:37 UTC

Even better - a cookie and a balloon when we went to the store to buy the fencing for the flower bed. He cheered right up. Funny how a bright red balloon can do that.

That is possibly my worst nightmare, thank goodness I've not got kids yet, i'd have proabaly had a heart attack straight away.

_karlurban_ April 10 2007, 17:10:40 UTC

Oh, I admit to having a tiny heart attack at the first shriek. I'm dreading the day he starts getting up the things Hunter pulled.

I've got 2 kids you can borrow whenever you feel like you want to see what it's like. ;)

If it was serious I'd probably have had a stroke.

maybe when my schedule eases up a bit.

I think you are the only person alive who still listens to Alanis Morissette.

_karlurban_ April 10 2007, 19:49:59 UTC

Probably. But in my defense, it was on the radio, and I was too lazy to change the station. ;)

Didn't she do the video for this song in the nude? But in like... a nude suit?

_karlurban_ April 10 2007, 20:21:21 UTC

Did she? The fact that you know that worries me a bit, mate.

Well, hello there, love!

No, I certainly can't argue with Hunter. Child's got a mind like a steel trap, and I swear he remembers everything I've ever said to him. Makes for interesting times around here. ;)

And I don't mind at all. I'll get you added right back!
