Parenting 102?

As Travis and I drove to our good friend's house last night, we approached something that looked quite ordinary - a panhandler.

Or so we thought.

The person looked like a woman in her 40's with short hair standing on the corner of 36th and Youngs, holding a sign, standing in a front yard. (Yes, we thought that it was an odd place to panhandle) As we drew closer, the person turned around and revealed themself as a homely 11(ish) year old boy. We took one look at his sign and cracked up laughing, like almost wet your pants laughing.

It said, "I LIED TO MY MOM...AGAIN."

Hilarious! We turned around to take a quick photo, but the storm started and she let him come inside.

Now, that's creative parenting!
