Liam

My Dad for years has been asking me if I am writing down all of the funny things my kids are saying and unfortunately I have not been very faithfull with that.  My excuse is that I would be writing all day every day but I am going to try harder because my memory seems to be slipping and I will forget them all if I don't write them down.  So here is a quick "Liam story" as we call them in my world.

The other day we had just gotten home from our trip to ID and we had a hectic day in the works, starting bright and early with dentist appointments for the kids.  I was frantically trying to get the kids ready and out the door but I was out of my normal routine and I sent them to the car and I had not yet disarmed the alarm.  So the alarm went off,  I quickly shut it off and waited for the alarm company to call but they didn't and I was late for the dentist, so I could wait no longer.  On the way to the dentist I was calling Kade to see if he knew the number to the alarm company so I could get this handled before the police came to our house and knocked the door down plus there is enough crime in this town that they don't need to be coming to my house on a false alarm.  After I got off the phone Liam kept asking me if we were going to go to jail and I told him that we were not going to jail but he was having a hard time letting it go.  After a few minutes he said "I sure am glad that Dad is a lawyer so if we go to court he can help us".  I said "Liam we are not going to have to go to court."  Liam then asked again if we were going to jail and I again said "no".   So after the dentist appointment  we went home and as we turned on to our street, there were three police cars and a police van quite close to our house.  Before I could say anthing I heard Liam say "uh, oh just act natural."  For he was sure that they were there for us!
