Marking His Territory


Jacob very rarely gets Junior Mints, no matter how often he asks. He's just too messy with them; he tends to squish the "guts" out and make a big mess with all of them and then eats bits and pieces of them. Camping trips, however, are a different story. He's gonna get dirty anyway, so why not? I dumped them out on a plate for him and he was perfectly happy--until other boys started coming up and stealing his food. Instead of wrestling them down, he decided to make sure no one else wanted them--by squishing a big whole in each one. Smart, I suppose. For the record, his shirt says "Every great idea I have gets me in trouble." True, so very very true.
