It was a quiet Friday afternoon, the kids were outside
playing and it had been at least 30 min. since we had heard a peep out of
either one of them. That always sends up
huge red flags that they are doing something that they are not supposed to be
doing. Stacie races outside to find Roc
sitting on the side of house. When he
hears her coming he immediately hides the marker and defensively places both
arms behind his back. Stacie had seen
that look of guilt before, knowing that he was hiding something behind his back
she demanded that he show her what he had in his hands, Roc professed that his
hands were empty (surprise he was telling the truth). As Stacie made a step toward Roc to see what
he had, Roc did the wise thing and presented his hands to his mother explaining
that "I wanted to know what it was like to be red." Stacie was in tears she was laughing so
hard. Roc was relieved that he was not
in trouble but then became embarrassed once the camera came out, realizing that
if we thought it was something that was that funny that he may regret having evidence
of it later.
