The Water Ban

It is official.  I have banned Oldest Boy from drinking water.

He said he can’t help it.  But I know he’s just spoofing and he can help it.

I told him when his body says (adopt robotic voice) “need water.  Must have water,” his mind has to counteract by stepping in and saying (adopt normal 7 year old boy voice) “Drink from the glass or water bottle and not directly from the tap.”

He has this annoying habit of half climbing onto the sink and half hanging out of the press door handles to slurp from the tap.

So I banned him. 

It’s at times like this I wish he would follow Smallest Boys lead and drink from the dog’s bowl.
