I kid you not. My EXACT words when I noticed my son eying this with peaked interest at his friend's birthday party...
"Honey, if you pull that plug the sun will go down"
What can I say? It was the first thing that popped into my head and a heck of a lot more interesting for my son than the usual, "Don't! Stop! No!"

haha did he pull it?
The other day I told my son as he kept trying to open the bulk food bins, "It says right here NO PUTTING YOUR HAND INSIDE." It's not too creative but I shocked myself with the lie and he took it all so seriously.
Check out Lies Mrs. G Has Told Her Children for some hilarious parenting moments. My favorite is when she told her daughter that this was the Last Pull-Up in the world.
Very inventive -- I wish I could think that quick on my feet!!
THE best quote eva!
That's too funny!!!
Isn't it amazing what comes out of our mouths when we're not really thinking about it?
Clever one! Why can I never think of these little things when I'm caught up in a parenting moment?!!
Ok I assume he didn't pull it, the bigger question is how would you have explained the sun not going down if he had?
Ha ha yes, very creative! I am always telling CJ not to do things OR HE WILL DIE. I think I'm going to give the boy a complex. Which is ok, then he'll match me. :)
That is a great one, and yes, I might steal it one day.
did he believe you? funny.
Did he pull it? Good one! Lol.
Did that make him EVEN MORE INTERESTED?
