The Jack Russel loves to play. She likes to bite my hands, so the sessions always turn into slap boxing bouts. She was just in my office and nipping at me, so I started a round. She got a good grip on my hand but she lost it, and instead of pulling away I went to the inside....just as she opened up wide and lunged at me. Did I mention she likes to play after she has had her breakfast?
Breakfast time is around 10 when one of the children gets around to doing the chore of feeding her.
I jabbed my finger down her throat. Quite far.
She Yak'd on me.
No more slap boxing in the morning.

Government acknowledges my children are potential threats.....
We were in Orange County over the weekend for a fundraiser for Cystinosis. On the way back we had a little incident at the security checkpoint. One of the items we sent through raised a ruckus with the folks viewing the x-ray machine. After a few minutes of conferring (and several suspicious glances at us...) three security folks came over and announced that they needed to conduct a search of one of our bags. Which one, you might be asking yourself- was it the bag I was carrying with all the electronic gear? Or perhaps the daughter's bag with God knows what in it? Perhaps it was the mysterious make up and beauty implement bag that the wife had- all sorts of suspicious and torture related looking items in there... but no.
The bag in question was Connor's. That's right- the Thomas The Tank Engine backpack carried by the 6 yr old. Seems he had committed TWO cardinal sins of air travel: he was smuggling open containers of water. AND he had left it unattended and his evil brother had added HIS open water bottle. I found it amusing, but am thankful that they caught it. It's their job, and even though it looked sorta odd, they did what they were supposed to do. Given terrorist propensities to play on our fears and look for advantages or weaknesses they can exploit, I am glad that they won't be able to exploit children in this manner.
Six years old, and already an open containers charge. Thank God he wasn't driving.
The apple never falls far from the tree.
