Actually Spoken During the Course of My Day

Me: Hey, check it out -- the mall cop left his Segway unattended over there -- Imma go steal it.

He: No dad, you can't. Stealing is wrong.

Me: Come on, I'm not gonna steal steal it -- I'm just gonna you know, ride it around a little bit.

He: I said no.
Me (under my breath): ..You ain't the boss of me.

Now if he were a teenager...that would have been a totally different conversation. probably more along the lines of so this is how WE got arrested at the mall lol.... cause teenagers ain't shyt!

Jersey -- I actually love that he's like that, and will occasionally pull stuff like this just to tease it out of him (although I really wanted to jimmyjack that Segway) -- but I keep thinking that when his teenage rebellion years finally hit things like this won't be quite as funny in hindsight.

Bef -- I'm not sure I'll ever be ready for his teenage days. He's such a sweet hearted kid that the eventual day when he starts bowing up is gonna be a shock. Not sure how you manage it. lol.
