One of my early memories of hanging out with my son and another father
with his two children is as follows. The kids suddenly start to run
ahead of us, and the other father shouted out, "Hey! Get back here! I
don't want any jailbreaks!"
For some reason this stuck with me
and I've used the phrase often since then. I initially thought it was
unique, but I've heard a lot of other parents use it. It makes a good
deal of sense. Kids don't think much about safety. Rules are, by
nature, restrictive. Don't cross the street there, hold my hand, put
down that flaming stick. Annoying stuff like that. To some kids, it
probably feels like prison.
Which is why this picture is so hilarious. (See it after the jump.)
