Times sure have changed...Your David is a great kid! <BR/><BR/>Times sure have changed haven't they? Reading Corey's comment I agree wholeheartedly, yet when we were kids the rule was that we were go straight to the car. My parents didn't lock the door ever. Once I did get separated from them when we were in a large department store when I was in first grade. I knew what to do and headed for the door. Sure enough the family was in the parking lot. The funny thing is that I kinda wanted to stay in the store and spend the night so I could play with all the toys. I was a weird kid that way. :-)<BR/><BR/>This is a good tip Becky. When I explain the rules of a new game to people who have never played it before I don't call them rules; I call them "bendables". I think we need to have the same flexibility with our kids. You are a wonderful mom!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25144488.post-15348943377272499142008-12-17T11:49:00.000-06:002008-12-17T11:49:00.000-06:00Aw! We play "Good idea. Bad Idea" with our kids. ...Aw! We play "Good idea. Bad Idea" with our kids. If you are lost in a store you should tell a security guard or someone who works at the cashier?" Good idea. "You should look for mommy outside in the parking lot? " VERY bad idea!Corey Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883689227283545602noreply@blogger.com
