Good stories about what the kids did recently / parental bragging

[Dryden]

Wife and I get home from work; the 14 year old son is at the skate park, so we decide to hold off on dinner and let our younger girls have some snacks from the pantry. Wife asks if I've been eating anything from the pantry or have given it to the girls, which is a big negative, so she wonders where the heck an entire box of Cheeze Its has gone.

She (always thinking the worst) heads into the boy's room and starts diving into the back of his dresser drawers.



Just check out the craftsmanship on that beauty. And the ingenuity! That's a perfectly gauged cut into the Sharpie with the drill press. The 3/8" socket doesn't even fall out when you turn it upside down. I'm really proud of him.

(P.S., my wife wants to know if we should ground him, kill him, or ground him and kill him).

So, do you have a pen / pencil drawer or the like on your main floor? You've gotta put it in there and let him sweat it out. Let him wonder if he put it there after he used it.

Yes, we have a community pencil drawer. I don't need my four year old girl getting it out and playing it like a kazoo.

I do have another great excuse for the rest of my life to not help him work on his stuff.

"Dad, can you fill the tires on my bike?"

"Nope, not since you backfilled my compressor with fix-a-flat."

"Well, then can you help me change the bearings on my skateboard?"

"Nope, you got high on the socket that fits your trucks."

Man that is high class. When I was 14 we used empty pop cans, bent in the middle and poked with a fork a couple times. WOW did it burn, but hey I was 14.

So...WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE CHEEZE-ITS?!!!

"Nope, not since you filled my pump with fix-a-flat."

Ok, put it back where it was found and wonder out loud a couple of times over the next few days about 'whatever happened to that damn orange highlighter...'

Make sure that you remove all orange highlighters from the house prior.

Shoulda used an apple. I hear that wasn't so harsh.

You really need to fake a fucking emergency that requires a 3/8" socket.

Nice. Got the Visine and everything.

"Was at the skate park" should have been the clue...

So...WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE CHEEZE-ITS?!!!

Im guessing all the little pot heads at the skate park ate them today. Wife says she bought the box last night.

I know, right? That's why this is in the parental bragging thread.

well crafted indeed.

doesn't look like it has been used much if at all.

good to see the youngster using tools.


as for the ground / kill debate, i go for the middle ground.

you got pics of it so you got proof. no need to bust him right away.

you have lots of options.

you can just keep stealing his weed.

you can shove the pipe / sharpie up some dog or cat's ass and take a pic of it. when you later find the pipe used, then take his stuff and replace it with the pipe in ass pic.

lots of options.
