6:45 a.m. - Adam comes into my room to take Cappucino. (a normal every day event)
6:46 a.m. - John tells Adam to take Thurman out. (the dog we are dog sitting)
7:00 a.m. - John goes down stairs and sees Adam on sofa with Cappucino
7:01 a.m. - Jonh asks Adam if he took Thurman out
7:01 a.m. - Adam replies "Oh I thought you said Thurston"
7:02 a.m. - John asks " Well did you let Thurston out?"
7:02 a.m. - Adam "yeah"
7:03 a.m. - John "really?"
8:00 a.m. - I call and chat with John about morning ect. I get "filled in " on the mornings happenings.
8:05 a.m. - Plan hatched in my mind... can't wait until 3:00 p.m.
3:00p.m. - Pick Adam up from school
3:01 p.m. - I ask Adam " how was school?"
3:01 p.m. - Adam, "Fine"
3:02 p.m. - I ask Adam "So did you let Thurston out this morning?"
3:02 p.m. - Adam "Yeah"
3:03 p.m. - Me, "Really,...Did he poop?"
3:03 p.m. - Adam; "yeah"
3:03 p.m. - Me; "really? How long was he out there?
3:04 p.m. - Adam; "I don't know, a few minutes, I left him out there until he startred barking."
3:04 P.M. - ME; "He was barking? How long was he barking?
3:04 p.m. - Adam; " Uh 2 or 3 minutes. I couldn't take his barking anymore so I let him in.
3:05 p.m. - Me; Really, He was barking for 2 or 3 minutes? That is AMAZING!"
3:05 p.m. - Adam; "WHY"
3:06 p.m. - ME; "BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 4 DAYS!!!!!!!!"
We decided not to tell the kids about Thurston's passing and wanted to see how long it would take them to notice. Well as you may have already guessed from Adam's behavior that it took him 4 days and a really big LIE for him to notice.
His punishment????
10 Sunday of having to clean up dog poop in the yard!
Why that punishment?
Well he lied about the dog and he was full of crap so I thought the punishment fit the crime!
Parenting can be fun!
He disagrees!
