When I asked him what he would do if I made him do that, he had plenty to say. First he asked me if I would really do that. I asked him if he thought I would. He said he totally thought I would. I agreed that I totally would, only if he were stealing or something really bad. I asked him if he would still love me if I did that. He said he would but that he would love his daddy just a little more. I said, What if your Daddy agreed with me in doing it? He said, "I would still love him a little more because he would just be agreeing with you. I would still love you as big as the house, but he would be just a little more." He was showing me by putting his hands flat and one just on top of the other to demonstrate the difference in the love he would have for us.
So I said, "What would you DO if I did that to you?" He said, "As soon as I got home, I would run away!"
Me - Where would you go?
Blaine - To my friend's house.
Me - And don't you think your friend's parents would call me and tell me?
By the look on his face, I could tell that had not crossed his mind.
Blaine - Then I would just go to another friend's house until I found one that would not call you.
Me - And what if I call the cops and report you as a runaway and they come get you and put you in jail?
Blaine - I know you wouldn't do that because you wouldn't put your baby boy in jail.
Me - If my baby boy ran away, I would!
Blaine - You wouldn't have to report me to the police. I would come home after I ran away for a little while. I would just run away to scare you to death. Then I would come home and tell you that's what you get for putting me on the street with a sign.
What a turkey!! So then he wanted to go ask Didi what she would do if I did that to her. She really wasn't as into our conversation as we were. She was watching a movie on her iPad by that time. She just looked up and said, "I just wouldn't organize the pantry." (Now you know why I started the last post with her organization skills, so you could understand that comment. It just ran away with me when I got started!)
Now Blaine wants to record What Would You Do every week. He loved it!
Thursday night I had another conversation with my son that was blog-worthy. 'Cause, you know, that's how I gage all conversations with my children. He and Joey had had a 'fight' at his baseball game that night. Kylee and I were at a dress fitting and couldn't go. After the kids went to bed, Joey and I were in our room talking about it. Joey went downstairs to feed the dogs. Blaine came into my room and said, "You know I can hear you talking to Dad about our fight, right? And I don't appreciate it, and I will regret it!"
Y'all, it took everything I had not to bust up laughing in front of him. I didn't. I just told him that Daddy was telling me about it, and we had said nothing bad about him, and he needed to go to bed.
Since I have no pictures of conversations, I'll leave you with some I took this week with his BFFs.
