Unbelieveable!

You would not believe what this eight year old kid did the other day. I'm still with this family in my ward and the middle kid, Andrew, is absolutely out of control. I took the kids to the food court the other day for lunch. We had already eaten and I was letting them play on some of the games there. After a while, I asked him to go get his older brother because it was time to go. Well, he still had his drink with him from lunch and went to get Davis. Davis came and Andrew just decided to stay behind and doddle. He took the lid off his drink and just threw it in the middle of the food court and started walking back toward me. He didn't know I was watching him at this point. There were a couple of guy soldiers eating their lunch and as Andrew passed by them, he paused looked at one of the guys and just grabbed a handful of this man's fries, shoved them in him mouth and kept on walking toward me like it was no big deal! I thought I was going to die! I was horrified. Who does that? Even a three year old knows better than that. If this kid was mine, I would spank him so hard I would probably be reported to the authorities.

Anyway, I tried to talk to him in a civilized manner about his behavior and then he proceeds to say in a no big deal kind of voice that "Well, I asked him if I could." Which was a total lie and even if he had asked them, it would still have been incredibly wrong. I made him go and appoligize to the man and the guy said, "Oh, it's fine. No big deal, I didn't care." Right in front of Andrew. So, what does that teach Andrew...that his behavior was okay! I hate people that do that. I was trying to teach this kid a lesson. So, I told the guy right there that no, it was not okay and not to tell him it was.

Anyway, that's just some of the things this kid does. Well, I thought you'd all get a kick out of that story. I've got go. Talk to you all later!
