Today when I was out getting the RV ready for our trip, I looked over at the house and noticed a couple of sticks (small branches) up on the patio overhang (near one of our upper windows). Given Tanner had been out playing with a stick earlier, I knew immediately he had done it. So I called him over to me and here is how it went down:
Me: Why did you do that? (pointing at the sticks)
Tanner: I didn't put that up there !
Me: Tanner, don't lie to me. I saw you with it earlier. It didn't fly up there on it's own now did it?
(knowing he was now busted, and not wanting to get in more trouble for the lie he just told)
Tanner: Dad, I said I didn't "put" it up there. I flung it up there! And Cailyn did it too!
Talk about a quick save on a technicality! Here I was upset that he had been throwing rather large sticks up near some windows, and yet I found myself feeling almost proud of him...it was weird.
