Stopped in West, TX
It's a Czechoslovakian city. They have really good baked goods. Anyhow. Jason was being a crazy man. He made a bathroom stop take about twice as long as it should. I finally ended up needing to take the kids out of the store. I asked Jason why he was being so bad. He said he was being good.
Justin - "No you're not. You're jumping up and down. You're pulling things off the shelf. You're not coming when you're called."
...
Justin - "You know; mom is buying a cinimon roll for you and Zoë. I bet Zoë would like the whole thing. Zoë, would you eat the whole thing?"
(vigorous nodding)
Justin - "Mom and dad are getting something else. We don't want the cinnimon roll. But, I'm not going to give it to a boy who's going to keep being bad."
...
Justin - "Now, are you going to be good?"
Jason - "Yes, I'm going to be good."
Justin - "What are you going to do to be good?"
Jason - "I'm going to p*ay to be good."
Justin - "You're going to play to be good?"
Jason - "I'm going to pray to be good."
I doubt I was able to conceal the look of surprise on my face.
Justin - "That's a good answer. You be good, okay?"
Jason - "Okay."

The doting Grampa in me says, "Jason is learning a lot from his Mom and Dad and in Bible class."
The worldly lawyer in me suspects he was "getting religion" to get on the good side of the judge.
The cynic in me agrees with the lawyer in you, but it was still a good answer.
I'll tell a related story in my next post.
