Frisk em boys!

So my friend Sherrie had an amusing little tid bit to share with me about her 5 year old son Connor. Connor is all boy! He MUST wear cow boy boots daily and with everything. I wonder if he inists on wearing them even to the pool or the beach? Ill have to ask. But Sherrie told me that at church yesterday, one of the Sunday school workers came to her with a gun in her hand. A toy gun of course. She said she had "found it" on Connor. Sherrie was quite perplexed about this issue. She said that she has to do the daily "shake down" of his blanket before Connor is allowed to go into school or whereever. I have to do it too to my girls (especially Lila). Kids are always wanting to take a little toy in with them to school to share with their classmates. But Connor had a bit of a suprise for his mom. When she asked the Sunday school teacher where she found the gun, she replied, "in his boot!" What a terribly ingenius place to pack heat! Sherrie said that she knew she had to shake out his blanket, but she had NO IDEA that she would have to start frisking him daily now too!! What a smart kid! Now let me just say this.....coming from law enforcement and all....but if a 5 year old is smart enough to figure out how to hide a toy weapon in his boot...shouldnt a teenager also be smart enough to figure this out?? Ok, and we have school killings/shootings WHY????
