A few months ago when we moved to Mason I informed my rather quick-witted two and a half year old that "suckies" were not allowed in our newfound home, Mason, if you are over the age of 2. In fact, it's against the law. He took the news like a champ and promptly refrained from the sucky first at nap time, then at night. All this while transitioning into a "big boy" bed.
I was ecstatic! No crying, no fussing, so questioning of authority. If it was that easy, I wouldn't be writing about it!
We moved into our new house in September and one evening in October I was working at home and watching legislative session streaming on the computer life from the Capitol. Colm asked me what I was doing and I told him that I was reading a law that the guys on the screen were thinking about passing. This is how the conversation proceeded:
"Can you find all laws on the computer?"
"Yes, Colm. Mommy can look up all laws of all time on the computer?"
"Even the Mason ones?"
"Yes, Colm."
"Then I would like to see the sucky law, I think it's silly."
Yes, my son is growing up to be a politician!
You guys are going to have to watch out what you tell him or you going to have pay!! Too funny, you can see those gears always going!
