Unexpected Knock

A few weeks ago Harrison was outside on the tramp and long story short was trying to pee on the dog from the tramp. He was trying to perfect his aim with a moving target. Which is a whole post in and of itself. In my usual fashion I try to scare him by telling him if he doesn't treat the dog nice and make good choices someone is going to come take him away from us and give him to a family that wont pee on him! He cried for days sometime uncontrollable. Apparently I also made a bad choice.

Fast forward about 2 weeks....today I was upstairs and there was a knock at the door. Harrison quickly answered it and I truly thought it was a friend dropping something off. All of the sudden I hear a MAN say "you should not be opening the door to strangers, and I am a stranger!" It was not a nice voice but a strong mad voice. I raced down stairs and find an officer at the door. My heart was racing at this point and trying to give an excuse why my 4 year old answered the door, while trying to think why he was at my door.

He then says "Do you have a dog"

Me "Yes" I included a photo so you can see how ferocious he is.

Officer "Well then your going to jail"

Me "laughing" - if you know me at all you know this was the case

Officer "I am just kidding, show me proof of rabies and pay the $24 for registration that is past due right now we have an amnesty program right now."

Me "What, are you kidding me"

Office "No, just get your check book and then call your vet and on speaker phone have them verify he has had the rabies shot"

Me "okay" So I did what he said.

Seriously he came to my door for $24 bucks and took a verbal from the vet! Now mind you we have two dog in the backyard which he can see but says nothing about dog number 2 Otis.

Fast Forward an hour. We are picking up Preston from school. Half way home Harrison in the back seat informs Preston in the front seat "Preston, there was an officer at our house today."

Preston turns to me and says "What, Why" He is smart...he goes right to the reliable source.

Me "Oh it was nothing it was just about Oliver"

Preston says turning and looking at Harrison "HARRRISSSSON, HARRISON I TOLD YOU NOT TO PEE ON THAT DOG! Did they take him?"

I still can't stop laughing! I love my kids. I am sure I would not have as many enjoyable moments in life without them.
