High Five

Po and Cam sit right next to each other in the car, which sometimes means trouble. Especially since Cam works her breech-baby flexibility, often putting her foot right in Po's face. He can't stand it, of course, and occasionally resorts to physical means, as was the case this morning.

"Porter, our hands are not for hitting, even if Campbell has her foot in your face. Ask her nicely to move her foot, and if she won't, then let me know and I'll take care of it. Remember, our hands are for holding things, petting animals gently, clapping, and giving high fives."

Porter thought for a moment and said. "Mommy, isn't giving a high five a type of hitting?"

Sheesh. "Well, I guess you could argue that, but it's hitting gently with permission. If both people put their hands up, it's okay."

"Well, I still think it could be really dangerous. Like someone could go to jail for their whole life."

I don't think I'd had enough coffee, yet, to dispute that.
