Child's play

My kids are playing a game of illegal alien.

Yeah let that one wash over you for a second.

I have a lot of housework to get done today but yet here I am blogging about this. Waste of time? Perhaps but really a game of illegal alien, that's blog fodder that writes itself.

I was in the bathroom straightening my hair and I heard dash-1 yell "Your an alien, an illegal alien! Get back here!" to dash 2. There are moments in parenting when you find yourself asking, hmmm do I really want to know? this was one of those.

I tried to think about what they could possibly be playing, had they built some giant fence in our playroom? {proving that indeed a fence could be built} Had they heard me watching Border Wars {check it out on the National Geographic channel its fantastic} and now they were acting out scenes.

Hmmmm... scary and no doubt this is going to reflect poorly on the parenting skills of flyboy and I.

Or worse.... could my kids have become bleeding heart liberals?!

{I kid I kid}

So I stuck my head in the door, sucked it up and asked. "Dash-1 did I hear you yell something about illegal aliens?"

He looks at me like he's in trouble. Crap. This is never good.

"Ummmmm"

"Bubba" {my affectionate pet name for him since he was a baby} "You're not in trouble, I'm just curious, how does this game go"

"well, dash-2 is an alien from Mars and he didn't pay his taxes on his rocket ship so he's in trouble."

Ah well. Dodged that bullet.

Now if your curious about the taxes, that's thanks to flyboy. He has a game he likes to play with the boys, its called tax collector. He chases after the boys and tells them that they didn't pay their taxes on their boat or whatever and then tries to catch them as they run screaming, "Aunt Nancy can't take my money!".

Yes, yes, I was right, this would come back on the parenting skills of flyboy and I. Sweeeeet.

Like I said before, this is why we are saving for therapy AND college. Saving for college just doesn't seem like a safe enough bet.
