…laughing, that is. We were sitting at the table having dinner when my children started to inform me of their plan of defense, should anyone try to kidnap one of them. I am usually pretty good at keeping a straight face when they tell me stuff, especially when they are completely serious. Now, my brothers and I used to have our own defense strategies, should a robber or someone come while a babysitter was at our house, which mostly involved “kicking his butt and shoving him out,” but my kids’ was pretty much awesome.
I kept a straight face while Emily informed me that the kid who was being taken would throw a toy to the unkidnapped one.
I kept a straight face while Liah told me that they would then proceed to grab the persons shirt, then kick, punch and bite them.
However, I totally lost it when Sean informed me that they would then proceed to stick the kidnapper to the fence with gum.
Liah and Emily both agreed, only after seeing my reaction, that gum would never work. Sean thought about it for a minute, then suggested glue. Liah thought about it for a second, agreed, and informed him that they would probably have to stick it to the kidnapper’s back.
Good plan, kids. Good plan.

hahahahahahah! My little nerdies...gotta love them! I'm totally using that idea.
I don't know if I ever thought about this as a child... but they're certainly creative! Here's hoping they don't have to use their plan. :)
