We were driving along the other day when out of the blue Devin suggested that it was time for a vacation.
“I’m ready for another vacation, but not Myrtle Beach,” he said.
“Yeah, I don’t think we’ll be going back there any time soon. I’m over seeing the Confederate flag while I’m trying to relax.” My wife agreed.
“Well Devin how about this: me and mommy go scout out some vacation locations then we’ll let you know what we think will be good.”
He thought about what I had said, which is always a bad sign.
“I don’t like that plan! You are not leaving me home all by myself! I don’t like that at all! No! I’m going with you!”
Neither me nor my wife thought that he’d pick up on the fact that our plan involved him not being with us for the vacation, but he did. This kid is really forcing us to step up our parenting mind games.
Cant wait to see where Devin has you all going for vacation. Lol
That was a nice try on your part but I SO saw this coming. Lol
Devin = scary smart
I got one.
Father: did you finish studying for your science test? You know we have two tests before we get to go to Florida to see Grandma and to swim. Science and spelling.
Son: Yes
Father: Okay, so in class you learned that basically most things in the universe are either energy, like light, or…?
Son: matter
Father: Good. So do you know what matter is?
Son: What does it “matter” to me? (goes on playing Wii)
Father: I’m cashing in your plane ticket…
Hah hah! Kids are on it these days, aren’t they? My eldest just put out the feelers for vacation. He suggested that we all go to Africa. He said he’s going to sell lemonade to raise the money for the plane tickets.
