Shout out to Bob Geldof

I love our Monday evening family meetings, it's the little unexpected things that come up that are so entertaining and though the kids are getting older - they just keep inadvertendly getting funnier and funnier and tonight was no exception.

After a delicious "meatless Monday" pasta, Dot shared that she was made to go to YMCA Camp jail for using the word "tits".  She said she was not the person that used this word, and she was "pissed off" at the leadership team for unfair jail time. 

Thankfully something has sunk in through the 12 years of parenting and she immediatly recalled us telling her in the past to "stand up for your rights" and to "not let injustices happen" and made it known that she this punishment was unjust, but they still put her in a time out aka... jail.  Upon arriving home she actually was quite upset about it and was lementing her time in "jail" *dramatic pause* "for 10 minutes".  Of course we took her grievance completely seriously and suggested she call a brother in arms, Nelson Mandela to talk about her unfair incarceration,  and perhaps reach out to Bob Geldof to start a Live Aid style concert.

I love our family.
