Bossing the Boys

no impulse buys

[wbjm] When I shop with my kids and they see something they want, I always tell them, “If you remember that you want that tomorrow, we’ll come back and get it.” A few times they will remember and I will take them back to get it. Sometimes I give them an assignment with the purchase, such as blogging the ridiculousness of cereal straws or pros and cons of buying a fan that clips on your hat. Here’s the fan list from Joe:

I still owe him a hat fan. (I clearly don’t want the boy to have a heat stroke!) I don’t remember it being solar powered, so we might still be debating this purchase. He did find it on sale at Half Price Books.

Okay, so does anyone out there watch the TV show Psych? I am SO the dad on that show, only I teach my kids about being frugal and saving the world. He used all kinds of crazy, unconventional methods to teach his son right from wrong, only wanting what’s best for his son, but parenting him in very odd ways. In the show, all of the skills his dad taught him come in handy in his life. You can watch the show on hulu if you haven’t seen it. My kids love it. And Hulu is free…

So joe’s friend landry asks, “what if everything in the world was free?” Joe replies, “we would run out of resources and we would all die.” wow. He’s SO my child.

How?

[wbjm] “Joe! Stop smacking your food.” His reply, “I’m not smacking… it’s my natural crunch.”

fade out…

[wbjm] The boys were giving me a hard time because I make them eat breakfast. I told them they’re growing so they need to eat. Cole says “Yeah, then how do people become old, like little old ladies?” Joe replied, “They don’t grow old, they just fade out.” Then he sees my gray hair and says I’m starting to fade.
