Can Someone Please 'Splain?


I think the next time Grandad comes to visit, he and Eli need to have a talk about police business. Elijah put on his police outfit this morning and ran out of his room to "go catch those bank robbers". He shot most of them with this tinker toy gun but he did arrest one of them. He brought the suspect back in his bedroom where I was and asked me what we should do with the criminal. "Mom, what should we do? Should I slap his cheeks or something?" Sure sounds like justice to a 5 year old!
Later, he ran out and caught a whole group of criminals. The process again became a little skewed when he proceeded to "throw them in the books". Literally. No due process around here. Just 10-15 years reading classics such as "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie" and anything Richard Scarry.
