What To Do About Jake....

So, last week, as I was waiting for the gas pump attendant to pump my gas (don't even ask, it's a Portland thing....), I heard a woman yelling from a distance. I was just sitting there getting my car gassed up, so I didn't bother looking up- until I heard it over and over again. We were in a semi-questionable area of town, so I still figured it was a crazyish person, but no. It was the woman in the car next to me. Gesturing for me to roll down my window, so I did. She proceeded to tell me that my son had been doing the "L" sign through the window at her. Yes, he was giving her the Loser sign. She was quite appalled, which maybe I would have been- if I didn't have a Jake. I got VERY angry with him, but that didn't seem to satisfy her. Sigh......What to do about Jake!

She DOES sound like a crazyish person. Why does she care!?

Oh, goodness! If I had a kid doing the "L" sign at me, I think I would laugh and have myself a chuckle for the day. Some people are far too easily offended!

Gosh I shouldn't admit this, but I was just glad he wasn't giving her the finger-LOL!

ROFL. You never know what a kid is going to do. They were put on this planet to give us gray hair!

MY KIDS SHOT BIRDS!! My husband allowed the stranger at the gas station to "confront" the kids and it scared them, hopefully they won't do that again.
