Perspective

Boy-I had to run an extra lap at track today.
Me-Why?
Boy-I was tapping on the cooler.
Me- You were tapping on the cooler......
Boy-Yeah. I was tapping on the cooler and Mr. Brooks told me to take a step back.
Me- Okay.....
Boy-So I took one step back and kept tapping on the cooler.
Me-You kept tapping on the cooler. (frowning)
Boy-Yeah. And then he got real mad and told me to take a lap.
Me-You KNEW take a step back meant to stop beating on the cooler.
Boy-He never said to stop tapping the cooler....he SAID to take a step back. Which I did.
Me-You directly disrespected his authority.
Boy-But mom.....
Me-What?
Boy-It was a great beat.

Boys! They'll drive you crazy, lol!

The answer to your comment is, I'm not real sure how the fire started? My hubby was mowing, so either he hit a rock and sparked it, or maybe the exhaust caught the clippings on fire, not sure? We had it bush-hogged a week or so ago, so everything was dead and dry. Finally talked my hubby into going to the dr. this afternoon about his arm.

I know what you mean about blogs that only do advertising. I don't like those, either. I only plan to keep doing as I have, with regular posts, then giveaways when possible. I don't plan to take money for posting anything. I wanted to share things I learned from the conference in case it could help someone else.
