Ok.. here's the story.
My youngest child, Sage, has started to fib and sneak things. (he stole some candy from me :eek:) He's also been picking fights for the last couple of days.
So... we came up with a wicked plan... makes us laugh...

We've been randomly placing our helmet cams throughout the house.... The oldest 2 kids are in on it, and point them out to him.
He's on his best behaviour.... and a little freaked out.... lol...

Brook's been talking to him.. here's his words....

"Brook they are watching us All the time!!"

"they have like 20 cameras!!!" (we only have 2)

This is cracking us up.. we'll let him in on it in a little while.. but wow is this ever funny.

Just remember, what's been seen, can't be unseen :eek:

Oh please dont remind me...

where there's a will there's a way

I have my daughter convinced there is a camera, but I think the boyfriend is smarter...I have explained that I have a backhoe and am not opposed to using it to bury him slightly deeper than the cadaver dogs can smell...

A good line that is used around my house is, "The Beatings Will Continue Until Moral Improves!":d:beer:

Too bad the two and half year old don't quite get it yet

We tell our kids that when they want something from us "We will get on it as fast as they get on it for us" We then usually get a "Thats not fair!" That usually motivates them.

So I had a little talk with Sage last night. I said, "so I guess you've figured out that there are cameras watching you hey?" He said yes... I asked him how he felt.
He felt like the cameras were creepy. I said I agree, having to put cameras around the house kind of invades your privacy. He nodded. I said, you understand that when you lie we don't trust you? Again he nodded, then hung his head down.
I said, Mr. Winkerbean, I want to trust you, so we'll give you another chance to tell the truth. We will take the camera's down, but the moment we feel you aren't telling us the truth they will be up. You can earn back your trust now. Biggest smile ever...

So we'll see.....
