FLA (Future Lawyers of America)

We are raising a future lawyer. It's funny. But it's not. Jonah seems insistent on finding the loop hole in every rule.

For Example:
The rule has been declared. It is no throwing ANYTHING when Gracie's in the room.

(Just for clarity's sake, Puppy is Jonah's stuffed animal. Not our actual dog. And Jonah has already attempted to throw Puppy twice.)

Attempt #1 to find loophole:
Jonah: Puppy's gonna FLY!
Me: No throwing anything when Gracie's in the room.

Attempt #2:
Jonah: I'll jes frow it behind the couch.
Me: No throwing anything when Gracie's in the room.

Attempt #3:
Jonah: Free, two, one....blast off! *Puppy is catapulted across the living room*
Me: No throwing anything when Gracie's in the room. Time out.

Jonah: *sitting in time out* *wailing* *nashing of teeth* *tearing of clothes* * more wailing*

Jonah: Sorry Mama. I not gonna frow Puppy anymore.

Attempt #4:
Jonah: I'll just frow this little bitty bear
Me: Jonah! No throwing ANYthing when Gracie's in the room. Understand?

Jonah: Yes mam.

Attempt #5:
Jonah: *teeny tiny underhanded toss of Little Bitty Bear*
Me: Time out.

Jonah: *sitting in time out* *wailing* *nashing of teeth* *tearing of clothes* * more wailing*

Jonah: Sorry Mama.

Jonah: I'll go frow Puppy in my room.
