Kids are the darndest

Thought this might be a good thread for all the funny moments our kids enrich our lives with.

I'll start out

My youngest watches a lot of the Wild Kratts show which has some strong conservation sentiment as part of it. He was torn up when his brother got his turkey because he was afraid we were going to make them extinct but the next morning is bugging me about accompanying me when i go out when the season opens.

He's also worried that the vendetta against raccoons and ground hogs around the farm will lead to unbalancing nature.

Yesterday with the good weather the kids were out in the woods doing kid things. Last night they were showering and getting ready for bed. The youngest comes down and says he has a bump on his ballsack. Sure enough its a damn tick and i get to use the tick tornado to remove it.

Things i never expected to be doing for $500 Alex

Has that show talked about the number of quicksand bogs we have in the US and killer bees yet? Lol

Yep. Had a couple uncomfortable conversations and moments with the kids over the years. Doug- just be thankful your kid was aware of something different and comfortable enough to come to you about it. What happens in a home with no dad? A home with bad parent/child relationship? That tick isn't addressed and creates further issues. Keep.the communication and trust door open for your kids. You're doing good!

These stories would be better over the campfire at Paint Creek!

Wild Kratts is a great show for kids. My son watches it all the time. I’m often amazed at the knowledgeable things he says that he learned from the show.
