As a kid, I use to think my backyard was enormous. My 4 year old son feels the same way about ours. He spends his day like Calvin, running around, exploring his personal jungle of trees and shrubs.
I've tried to convince my wife, it is indeed enormous enough to invest in a riding mower, but she's not buying it. I would however, if she'd only loan me the money.
But, back to my son. Did I mention I'm a stay at home dad? Because of that, I know exactly how mom's worldwide feel when it comes to kids not respecting boundaries. I go to the bathroom and "Sheldon" is at the door.
Knock. Knock.
"Dad!"
Knock. Knock.
"Dad!"
Knock. Knock.
"Dad!"
He's potty training, btw.
Anyway, I went to pee and he follows me, apparently needing to pee too.
So there we are gathered around the toilet in a moment reminiscent of the radiator scene in "Red Dawn."
It was at that point my son looked up at me and said, "dad, mine is big like yours."
Whilst trying not to die laughing, I thought, I'm never going to get that riding lawnmower am I?"
