Kids These Days
 

So the kids are on Spring Break. So that means I have all 4 of them today.

As an attempt to get them out of my hair, and to get them some D.. I told them to go play in the backyard for an hour. Its a slightly sunny day, enough to warm the skin, but still cool, all you need is a sweater or a light coat. Can't be that bad right? They're kids..

10 minutes later they are bugging me to come back inside. To do what? Watch cartoons and play video games.

I told them to just hang out outside for an hour. But sheesh, they're acting like I'm torturing them. One of them was laying at the back door screaming and crying. They've spent about 6 months inside constantly, and on their first "outing" they don't last 10 minutes.

My brother used to lock me outside the house in the middle of summer in Texas for half the day, and I was fine with that.

Lol, maybe their vampires and they cant stand the sun...

lol try being outside in the middle of August in Louisiana you'll be like those kids : D.

I lived in Southern Texas most of my childhood <.<

I wish to go back outside and be with people... my mother tells me no friends =/

i see it as this : if you tell them as a parent to go and do something, then becuase it wasnt their idea, they wont want to do it. if going outside was their idea and you said that they couldnt, then they would then complain about being inside lol. anyone agree with me on this?

Yeah, but they probably wouldn't volunteer to go outside. These kids have gaine their wintery paleness and they need to get some D!

Detain the kids, put food high in a jungle gym/tree, and release them?

Two words: Military camp.

give them some easter eggs and tell them do do a chocolate hunt outside....? XD
