Today’s Quote of the Day

"Stupidity never loses its ability to take your breath away."

– Barbara Ling

Meaning…

You can tell them and you can tell them and you can tell them….

And your kids will still have their moments of stupidity that would make a cycling fish gasp in admiration.

Imagine the surprise that welcomed me after I came up from the basement yesterday to discover my son was trying to open the door for a stranger.

A Comcast stranger, mind you, but a stranger all the same.  His sister prevented him from opening said door (plus, my mooses were doing their very best imitation of "Let’s play the game called Rip Out The Stranger’s Throat!", which was probably a wee bit un-nerving to say the very least).

After dealing with the issue, I grew 392 more gray hairs and had a lovely chat with Honorable Boy 1 about the utter stupidity of his actions. 

And yes, generally I’m ‘way more tactful…but ignoring stranger danger is something about which I will NOT mince words.

It was a stupid, stupid STUPID action.

And hopefully, I communicated that most admirably indeed.

Sigh.  Parenting….it’s a hero’s journey.

Oh, and looking for resources about Stranger Danger?  Check out:

If you have kids, please, I BEG you…go over stranger danger one more time.  Better yet, have a friend they don’t know try to ask them to open the door.  Being safe is far preferred to being sorry.

Enjoy,
