life lessons

for f.h.e. the other night, we decided to have an "emergency lesson." so we talked with carson (and layla, but let's be honest...her brain remains in la-la land until treats are directly involved) about emergencies. like, what should he do if mommy or daddy "fell asleep" and wouldn't wake up?
carson: "i'd yell at you to wake you up!"
me: "good idea. that usually wakes people up all right. but what if we STILL didn't wake up? what would you do then?"
carson: "i'd yell even LOUDAH!"

glad to know we're in good hands.

incidentally, if anyone hears continuous & very loud yelling coming from our house, it might not be a bad idea to stop in and check things out. especially since my kids never, nope NEVER, yell unless in dire emergencies. like a finger touching them. or a cheerio on the floor. or someone looking at them. or having to share. you know--the life-threatening stuff.

I agree with val! I miss hanging out together...
and your house sounds like my house! I swear people probably walk by when the windows are open and wonder in what way the children inside our home are being tortured...they are so loud!

HA HA HA! we had the EXACT same lesson a while back! we got this from hannah: "well, why wouldn't you wake up if i yelled in your ear?" me: "b/c i'd be 1/2 DEAD." kidding - i didn't really respond like that. . . .
