YOUR IN TIME OUT MISTER!!!
Yesterday on the 4th the whole family was over at my mothers house for dinner. Minus the D.C. Krew they were in D.C.
It was raining when I left my house. This is a pick of the sky going south on Rainbow Blvd just past 47th (County Line Road)
Every time I go over to my mothers she has some kind of "project" she wants me to do for her, which I am happy to do. This time she wanted me to hook up a new VCR that she bought at a garage sale for 6 bucks.
I took off the price tag and stuck it on Zach telling him that I was going to sell him for six bucks. He thought I could get more for him he said that he was going to sell me for 2 dollars. I told him I already had some people interested in buying him. He said "Umm o.k. but just make sure they have a pool. Will ya"? Puzzled I say O.K. Zach helped me hookup the new VCR. He held the flash light that I really did not need. But he did a nice job.
After we hooked it up he went and had this exchange with his mother:
Zach: Mommy, where's my truck?
His Mother: I think it's on the patio.
He goes to the patio and comes back to the living room and yells
"IT'S NOT OUT THERE, DUFUS!"
She flips out!
"Hey! Don't talk to me like that, your in time out mister!" And takes him into the other room and puts him in his time out chair.
I just stand there laughing, I'm still laughing!
Now, I know what your thinking, and just for the record I DID NOT teach him that word! Nor did I tell him to say it.
As an Uncle I know what my job is with these little kids.
1. Spoil them, if they ask for it, I give it too them. As long as their parents don't find out it's O.K.
2. Tease them for my own amusement. Like they were my own personal comedy troop.
3. Make sure they don't hurt themselves. (Unless it's for my own amusement then its o.k.)
4. Don't teach them anything. That is what there parents are for.
