Naw just having a little fun. As much as kids put their parents through it's ok to have a little ''harmless'' fun.
I use the word harmless loosely on forcing the little guy into that horrible AU store though.
Hope I'm not hijacking here but this really reminds me of something that happend with my son. He's 22 now but when he was about 4 yrs old
he had a habit of hiding in the clothes racks in the stores at the mall. We've alway kept up with them and never let the run around in stores, to many crazy people that look for a few seconds to kidnap a child so I took that stuff serious when he would hide from us. Always knew where he was but it would piss me off that he would still do it. Anyway one day I told the wife when he does it again we are going to hide from him. That's what happened and when he popped out of the clothes rack ,we were nowhere to be found. It took the little guy about 2 seconds to be in full blown crying mode. I did laugh my ass off when we came out and he saw us. I felt bad but it was the only way he would get my point across to what could happen. I still feel bad thinking about it but, He never did that again either.
