Evidence

You see that black dot below Brady's nose??? This isn't his best imitation of Cindy Crawford, a salute to Charlie Chaplin or a booger. It's EVIDENCE. Evidence that someone has been playing in the plants again. In life Brady has a few favorite things; texting, flirting, grapes, cookies and playing in the plants. Finger raking the potting soil has earned him several 2 minute vacations to solitary confinement. (time out is too friendly, so we thought we would hard'n the sentence). In total he has spent 14 hours staring at the wall.

I'm not sure how effective the punishment is, because Brady can make anything entertaining. Somehow an empty corner becomes Six Flags. He chuckles to himself as if he was at a Comedy show.

I'm sure a swat on the rear would temporarily deter him, but we don't believe in that technique. (FYI- I just read a TIME magazine article that stated; 3 year old children who were spanked are 45% more likely to display aggressive behaviors as 5 year olds). I know, I know...."I was spanked as a kid and I turned out okay." Times, they are a change'n!
