I took Taylor for special time the other day…
This was the conversation we had:
T: What’s in jail?
Me: Bad guys.
T: What else?
Me: Scary bugs.
T: How do you get to jail?
Me: You do bad things.
T: Like what?
Me: Like stealing.
T: I want to steal.
Me: Why?
T: Because I want to see what jail is like. Who will take me there?
Me: A policeman.
T: What if I won’t listen to him?
Me: He’ll put handcuffs on you.
T: Then I will totally freak out.
Me: So, don’t steal.
T: But, I want to go see what jail is like.
Crap. I’m in big trouble. Good times ahead.

Oh the innocence of children!
Logical, but not practical!
oh dear! let’s hope he never finds out! maybe you should rent a good, low budget prison movie for him to watch. he’s probably a little young for the “scared straight” program! funny…
Lock him in his room for 20 minutes and tell him your playing “jail.”
Maybe you should encourage him to be a policeman so he can guard the jail??
Maybe you could take a Mommy-son field trip to the local jail. Ir convince him that he should be a public defender when he grows up. Or, actually on second thought, stealing something and going to jail is probably a better life than being an attorney. 🙂
LOL!
Just put him in the bathroom with a blanket for a few hours. That should do it.
LOL, good luck with that one!
I will be right there with you b/c Hayden told me that he wants to go to jail too.
oh gosh…good luck with that one!
