Leo Says (and does) the Darndest Things


Everyday Leo gets off the bus and reports whether or not he received a sticker (which means he was good at school). Well, he actually only announces it if he DID get a sticker. If he didn't, he says nothing and I know immediately that he got the opposite of a sticker…A CODE.

A code is a letter which corresponds to the rule that the child broke like "A" for not following directions or "D" for not keeping parts to himself. (I guess they felt like "hands, feet and objects" didn't really cover it all.)

So today he told me that he got a sticker and then told me about how "less than seven kids got a sticker." He said that a lot of kids got into trouble for being loud and the teacher said she was going to have to write lots of codes on their behavior sheets.

Then Leo announced: "Sign language leads to whispering; whispering leads to talking; talking leads to yelling and yelling leads to codes."

"That's true, Leo," I said. "Is that what your teacher said?"

"I made it up," he said. "It sounds like something Yoda would say, doesn't it?"

I thought it was smart AND hilarious!

And speaking of smart and hilarious, Leo has made his most impressive creation with tape yet. He attached the Cozy Coupe to the wagon using only Scotch tape and shockingly, it worked! That kid puts a lot of faith in Scotch tape. The people at 3M would be fools not to hire him.

Amazing! Yoda would be so proud of Leo's logic. And the scotch tape invention is even more impressive since the wagon has the added weight of Gus. Could make a great TV commercial but better hurry since Leo is almost too big for the Cozy Coupe

Very clever, Leo. You have good thinking skills . Be sure to patent your inventions.
