The Risk Taker Gets in Trouble

These are the faces of a young boy placed in time out because he jumped off a boulder into Lake Superior without a life jacket, plunging into water far above his cute little head.

He ranted.  He raved. He tried to persuade me into thinking that it was fine for him to jump off boulders into deep freezing water.  He grumped.  He grouched.  And then he eventually gave up because I told him he could get out of time out when he was a smiling, cheerful person.

    Most of the time I think he looks more like his dad, but here, oh my have I seen those looks directed at me when you were younger. Been there, done that. Good luck, it will only get worse.
