Another funny kid story...
My DH and I have the privilege (?) of being old parents with young kids. Sometimes I go for extended bathroom breaks just to have some time to myself. But I think there must be some automated alarm in my house because the minute I go in there and shut the door, here they come. Just have to know right that minute if they can go to a birthday party 2 weeks away - can't wait for an answer. So I got fed up and made a big announcement that no one was to knock on the door when I am in the bathroom, unless you have an emergency. The very next day, I was in my escape room when I saw a piece of paper coming under the door. Said "Mom, I have a merchancy - I am bleeding". Just in case that wasn't enough to get my attention, she dropped a blob of blood on the paper and rubbed it around to make a bigger blob. I couldn't do anything but laugh. Such drama!
That was great. They are so creative. When my onery son (can't imagine where he got that) was about 6 (he's 24 now), we were moving onto about 20 acres where my wife grew up. The property bordered the cross town interstate. My family came in from OKC to see the place and we were watching TV that night after walking all over historic downtown Van Buren. My sister had my son massage her feet and paid him 50 cents, and told him he did such a good job, that he should think of doing that for a living, because he would probably make a lot of money. Well, a couple of days later, my wife and I were out feeding the animals and people on the interstate were honking as they drove by. When people that we knew drove by, they would honk, and we would just wave. We presumed a lot of people we knew just happened to be driving by, so we would raise our arm to wave, even though the cars were going too fast to notice who it might be. We finally finished and going into the house, commenting on all the people that were honking. My wife noticed a big cardboard sign on the fence facing the interstate. She went down to see what it was and came back red-faced. Our son made a sign that said:
"MASSAGE ANYTHING -- $1.00"
