Sometimes I just can’t. And if Gabe could read I would be in big trouble. So here is how it plays out….
Upstairs GABE: Mom, HELP (crying)
Downstairs ME: What Gabe? Come down if you need me.
Upstairs GABE: MOM!!!! I need you….
Downstairs ME: What Gabe? Come down if you need me.
REPEAT ABOUT 3-4x
Upstairs GABE: Please mom, just come up, I really need you (crying still, and I am not a bad mom, he just cries a lot, okay screams a lot)
ME: Okay, I am coming…(I find Gabe handcuffed to the bracket underneath his footstool) It’s okay Gabe, I can cut them off, we’ll figure out.
Gabe: Just go in my closet and the key is in my box of weapons. (crying)
End of story..But I just got to know, do all 5yr old keep a box of weapons in their closet? Is this normal? And I am saying this seriously. Weapons being swords, handcuffs, police badges…..
