Don't Teach 'em What You Don't Want 'em to Learn

DAD decided the Twins needed to learn about pockets. Their outfits have pockets, so Dad placed a small toy into each Child's pocket and allowed them to retrieve it.

This fascinated them for a good five minutes, until Dad placed his own cell phone into his pocket. EJ lost interest in his own pocket and promptly went to retrieve it. Dad allowed him to do so and even encouraged Buggy to do so. She was easily frustrated because she could not easily remove it.

After five more minutes, with each Twin becoming frustrated that they could not keep the cellphone they retrieved, Dad stood and put his pockets out of reach. This prompted howls of protest. Dad regretted sharing the secret of the pocket with them.

A bottle and nap quickly followed.
