Then I hear a splash followed by an admonishing 13 yo saying "Mama, would not be happy..."
I turn to see our little 5 yo bobbing in the pool and I order him out.
I give said 5 yo a stern lecture on the dangers of jumping from the ledge. I give him a wonderful verbal discourse on the dangers of jumping into shallow water..I throw out terms like paralysis and wheelchair..This one is fearless.. I must instill a bit of healthy fear ..I will not let those dimples the size of moon craters sway me.. I must stay strong...
He looks at me with big eyes and says, "But Mama, I didn't jump.."
"You didn't jump?" I ask ..
"No Mama, honest.." he says emphatically.. " I didn't jump.. ..........................
I did a FLIP.."
L'Oreal Medium Brown.. You may want to buy stock in it ;o)

LOL! We have one like that too... he is seven. He wants to grow up to be a stunt man, and goes at life with that sort of passion.
At a trip to the ER (stitches from a wild sled ride), a nurse tried to give him a teddy bear that they give to all of the kids who come in. She was showing him all the different colors he could pick from. He said, "No thanks... I already have all of those colors".
Gotta love boys!!!
That was the perfect picture to post at the end of this story!
You need that t-shirt that says, "I do my own stunts."
How could you stay mad at dimples?
So ADORABLE! He is just gorgeous.
Thanks for the belly laugh. :) Yes, it's easier to laugh when it's someone else's child pulling stunts like that! :P
