Reason For Concern?

Last week Mason and Cutler were talking about jail and Mason threw out that he wouldn’t go to jail because he is too young and instead would go to “juvie”.  I have no idea where he learned about this, but I just let them have the conversation.  Fast forward a couple of days and Mason asked me how old until you go to jail.  I told him that it depended on the crime, but essentially up to 18 and he looked relieved…UNTIL I pointed out that juvie is the same as jail, but just for younger kids and that it can be just as rough and tough as jail.  The look on his face of disappointment was as if I had just taken away his video games.  It was as if he was planning some type of crime while he was young so he could avoid jail.  I quickly explained the best way to avoid juvie or jail is to not do anything wrong.  Hoping it set in.

  1. Look out—it looks like you have at least one very clever young man to raise. It doesn’t help that they both have the faces of angels to go along with it.
