Men are such babies

Earlier this week I went to the Paper Store to buy a card for Lincoln for our anniversary. At the checkout was this little book designed to look like a police officer's ticket book. It had a list of violations that you could charge your kids fines for including whining, not cleaning their room, leaving dirty laundry on the floor, swearing, etc. Fines range from fifty cents to about $2.50.

I thought it was hilarious.

The kids didn't.

Yesterday Hannah got a warning violation - meaning she didn't have to actually pay the $4.50 in fines - posted on her kitchen board (more about that later). This morning Jake left his dirty laundry all over the floor and I told him that he had to pick it up.

Me: Jake, you need to pick up your dirty laundry. That's what Hannah got a warning violation for yesterday.

Jake: What?

Me: Yeah, you know, a ticket? Part of her fine was for leaving dirty laundry around. I'll give you one if you don't pick up your dirty laundry.

Jake: Seriously? SERIOUSLY? You would seriously do that to a man with a cut?!?

And then he proceeded to show me the world's smallest cut on the back of his hand.

Nice try Bud.
