Leaving family camp….. have been playing near a creek:
Me: It’s time to go!
Her: Aw, mom! Can’t I stay and look for leeches?
No. The answer will always be NO.
Family in car… have been driving for 2 hours:
Him: I need to use the bathroom!!
Dad: we’re almost home, buddy.
Him: Aw, dad! Can’t I pee out the window while we’re driving?
No. The answer will always be NO.
Maybe we’re just really strict.

thanks for the laugh. i the midst of a few art projects that are driving me nuts. its nice to know there are other crazy people in the world.
thanks jonathan.
lighten up kim. come on.
pee outside the car window???
holy cow! i am not sharing that info with my son. nope. nu-uh!
What is wrong with leeches? I don’t get it.
erin… you’re welcome. hang in there.
kellie… you just wait. your boy’s all cuteness and light now, but the peeing questions are coming as soon as there are WORDS.
tam… yes, agreed, best not to share.
stephanie… I dunno I guess I’m just super narrow-minded and want the kids to keep all their blood.
“Hey Dakota, guess what Kim doesn’t let her kids do…”
dear tam,
I am so sorry about what’s going to happen the next time your family is in the car…. please still be my friend
kim
how come i get these questions too, and there aren’t even kids yet??!
Kim, Are you kidding, you don’t carry an empty screw-on lid pop bottle in your car? Believe you me, with 3 boys in the car, we would have gotten nowhere without it!
Pam?? no way!!! Hi there!!! Thanks for the comment…. AND the visual image. ick. :)
