My Secret Service'ers...

"carter? carter. CARTER?! kindra, where is carter??? is he outside?!?"

i hurried outside to find out where he had disappeared to. and this is where his proud mama found him. in the backyard of our next door neighbor. after i watched him for a bit, grabbed my camera, and took a few shots before i excitedly called him home just so i could find out exactly what it was that he was doing.

"i was doing service, mom. i learned about it last week. was it good service, mom? (and then he asked if i thought that they might even pay him since it was so good...lol)

"well then it wouldn't be service, carter. is that the only reason why you did "the service"? just so you would get paid?!"

"no but that would be nice, wouldn't it?"

"that's what they call a job and don't worry, one day you'll have one and when you do, you'll wish that you didn't!" ;)


...and yes he brought in some "back-up" for round 2.

some more proof that kids ARE paying attention and are learning. even when you're not sure that they are, that what you're saying is making sense, or even making a difference. don't ever give up on the job of being a parent.

oh i just love my secret service'ers, even when they'd rather be getting be getting paid. that just shows their driven and know EXACTLY what they want. like mother like children ;)
