Saturday morning Jay and I awoke to CJ standing at the foot of our bed. He made quite a picture, this little man wearing mirrored sunglasses and a smug grin.
I sat up. “Well, hello there, CJ! What are you doing?”
“I have guns,” he announced.
Oh dear.
“You have guns?” Jay leaned over to have a look. I did too.
CJ was wearing his pajama shirt and underwear. Carefully tucked into the waistband of his Transformer undies were an assortment of HIGHLY DANGEROUS devices. A squirt gun, play dagger, flashlight, and his Batman wallet.
There’s really only one thing to be done in a highly charged situation such as this.
We got up and made the little man pancakes.
He had guns, after all.

Hahaha, I love the “underwear is a belt” scenario when it runs through our house. We don’t allow our kids to play guns, but swords are just as effective here.

Well, how could you resist??!!

Isn’t it funny how they get into guns and swords at such an early age. Soon you’ll be tripping over light sabers, if you aren’t already.

Ah, Pancakes at gunpoint. A novel way to start the day. Did he lead you into the kitchen with your arms raised? I am not telling daughter about this. She would surely use this tactic for another visit to IHOP…

Slowly hand over the chocolate chip pancakes and no one will get hurt.
Love it!

Oh god, my kids and lightsabers. Star Wars fans big time. They are only allowed to play with them outside, and in the dark it’s pretty fun to watch them run all over the yard.

Question is, was he willing to disarm once breakfast was served … ?!

Indeed, highly terrifying! I think more bank robbers should use that outfit.

I’m sure you’ve started something… Next Saturday he’ll show up with fake grenades demanding waffles ;)

Ha, Ha. Cute. (I totally thought he was going to be referring to his arm muscles)
November 13, 2007 at 2:22 pm
oh, that’s too cute! and it probably would have scared the crap out of me to wake up to see one of the boys standing at the end of my bed! ;-)
November 13, 2007 at 2:28 pm
Hilarious! What a picture!
Little boys are awesome.
November 13, 2007 at 4:08 pm
lol! Batman wallet.. just in case.
November 13, 2007 at 4:59 pm
Hysterical. What a way to wake up.
November 13, 2007 at 5:48 pm
I miss the days when my boys were little enough for Transformer underwear! *sigh* He is too cute.
November 13, 2007 at 9:43 pm
That’s adorable. I need to remember that, when I want pancakes from my husband. I don’t know if he’ll find me quite as adorable though.
November 13, 2007 at 11:31 pm
Oh gosh!! I can’t wait until my kiddos are old enough to be this wonderfully creative! How cute!
November 14, 2007 at 10:53 am
“I have guns” lol! That’s what you wanna wake up to!
