Embarrassing Honesty

The other night, Matt was watching one of our neighbor's dogs run through our flowers. He started complaining about the dog and mentioned that he thinks that is the dog that's been pooping in our yard. Matt was thinking out loud of the things he could do to prove his point to the neighbor, and said next time he finds poop in our yard, he would take it down to this neighbor's house and set it on their porch. Nolan told Matt that would not be a very nice thing to do....thanks Nolan for the voice of reason.

Matt and Nolan were outside yesterday evening, and our neighbor and his dog were outside close to our house. Matt was talking to the neighbor, when Nolan asked Matt what his name was. Matt told Nolan what his name was, and then Nolan says, "Terry, my dad wants you to keep your dog out of our yard!" Matt said as soon as Nolan opened his mouth, he knew what was about to come out. Matt was trying to cover Nolan's mouth as soon as he began talking....but it was just too late. So then Matt had to tell Terry that he thought his dog may be one of the dogs that poop in our yard. The neighbor apologized and said he will try to keep on eye on him to make sure he's not messing in our yard anymore.

Hopefully the poop problem has been solved thanks to Nolan. Kids are just honest, what can I say?
