In a recent conversation my sister Elizabeth (third from right) had with her 5 year old son he decided that whatever it was she was asking of him just wasn't something he wanted to deal with so in reply he stated:
If you're not nice to me I'll move over to the dark side!
With an obvious influence from the latest Star Wars release there's still a level of creativity involved with that statement you simply have to appreciate...
I have no doubt that the circumstances that led up to this statement and then the follow-up punishment were, in his mind at least, no laughing matter. But any of you who are parents no doubt understand that it was all my sister could do to keep from losing-it-in-laughter as this "time-out" penalty was invoked. Personally I would have been tempted to take him out for ice-cream for coming up with something so creative but I guess thats the difference between Mom's and Dad's... one see's need for punishment when the other see's need for praise. Probably a good thing the Momma ALWAYS has the final say (no, I haven't been influenced at all by my sisters... I have no idea what your'e talking about ;)
God love the children of this world for helping bring life into perspective... I have no doubt that He does (and was probably laughing at this one as well. :)
