My sweet husband bought my son a pair of real handcuffs for his birthday.
I am still scratching my head on that one.
I mean, the last thing that boy needs is another pair. And a real one at that!
Anyway, he is very attached to them. In fact, during stake conference, they showed up. Right after we decided to sit on the bleachers. Another not so smart idea.
You see, we decided to let the kids sit there so they can get in out of their system. You know, when they beg and plead to sit there and then change their mind, usually half way through the meeting, and they swear they never want to do it again. Well, this exact scenario happened, as I knew it would, and I figured it would be best to get it out of the way. And we were missing two kids so it really was the perfect time.
Back to the handcuffs - Travis was directing traffic as part of his assignment so we were on our own. Joey pulls them out of his pocket, saying he wanted to chain himself to the edge of the bleachers so he couldn't get up. I had no desire to sit there so I told him to come up with me. He immediately sat by me but handcuffed himself to me! Well, I took this as a good sign that I could control the little man so I hid the key. He was fine with it until he saw my friend Jana and wanted to go give her a hug.
Well, dang it if I couldn't find the key! The moaning, pleading, and carrying on commenced until I finally took pity on him and 'found' the key. He said his hi's, gave his hugs, and managed to find me again and lock himself up again. (Have I mentioned I have a really weird son?)
It didn't last long. And then the cuffs were put into the bag and finally Travis joined us about 45 minutes after it started and he discovered Joey brought them. That wasn't supposed to happen.
Someone might loose his cuffs for a month. I can't say I am upset. In the meantime, he has the toy ones. I think my little man will live.
And, Of course I blame David for his interest in them in the first place!
See how proud he is? Should I be concerned?
Someone else was feeling left out, although her interest was only for the picture, thank goodness!!!
You know, we've been worrying for him for the past ten years. ;)
