Boys!

Ds never ceases to surprise me. Last Friday, he thought it would be a good idea to put a cable bike lock around his neck. This is the kind of bike lock that looks like a noose when it is locked. He did not think to find the key first, but simply acted on his impulsive thought. He tightened it enough so it would not fit over his head, but gave him plenty of room to breathe. He was never in any danger, other than dying of embarrassment.

We did not have any idea where the key for the lock was, so husband suggested going to a hardware store to have it cut off with a bolt cutter. Ace Hardware was out of bolt cutters and he had to go to his therapy appointment with the lock around his neck. It kind of looked like a tie, with one end hanging almost to the ground. My next thought was to take him to the fire station to see if they had bolt cutters, but luckily, the therapist took pity on him and they walked back to Ace and cut it off with a wire cutter. I, of course, did not get a picture. Why can't I remember the camera at times like these.

Do boys ever grow up?
