The Bandit’s Career Goals

Just a couple of days ago I told you that the boy has started practicing his rodeo skills.  This takes place in the living room with a giant stuffed Eeyore standing in for the bull.  He’s created a makeshift shoot and he and Eeyore come barrelling out of the “shoot” and buck around the room.  Everything in the house is at risk from his antics. 

My dear friend suggested for his birthday we get him a real rope and a roping dummy to practice with like the real cowboys do.  That idea was appealing in its infancy.  I think The Bandit would really enjoy learning to lasso and stuff.

And then I began to contemplate things further. 

What good can possibly come from a mischievous Bandit, Roscoe the Idiot Dog, his unsuspecting sister and a rope?

I’m seriously contemplating the idea if for no other reason than the excellent blog posting potential.   How bad of a mother does that make me?
