So, I am at my sons parent teacher conference. the boy decides he does not like how the meeting is going and went for a deflecting strategy. He burst out and says "My mom has guns under her bed"....Naturally I PANIC, I stammer saying "No they have been moved and they are safely locked away (which is all true). It is obvious I am in fear! I think they are going to call CPS on me. Then the boy's economics teacher speaks up and says "So? this is Texas"
I forgot I am in Texas and no longer in Seattle! I need not to fear!
How old is your son? He doesn't have his own small caliber gun? ;)
Didn't you hear of the five year old boy in southeast Texas that took a gator that weighed over 800 lbs? He used a 410 shotgun and got the gator right behind the eye.
Seriously, good responsible parents usually end up with good responsible children.
The boy was playing a smart card. OR it would have been in Seattle. He knew his teacher was about to tell me something he did not want me to know. So he went for a deflector, hoping to derail/distract the issue.
I have used a similar technicue during an annual work review. I told my boss you had a booger hanging and the whole meeting she kept bringing her hand to her nose and could not consentrate. It was hysterical!
