Playing Army in the ADA approved fashion

This week Dave cleaned the garage and found some old walkie talkies.  Mikey, who loves anything that could even vaguely be associated with the military, immediately recruited Marshall to play with him.  They walked all over the house and yard testing them out.  I felt like I was in the middle of a Verizon commercial. “Hello?  Hello?  Can you hear me?  Can you hear me now?  How about now?  Can you hear me?”  Of course, they were close enough that they didn’t even need the walkie talkies.

All of this talking, static and beeping peaked the twins’ interest.

Jacob really wanted to play with the big boys.  They were too busy testing the parameters to let Jacob in.  Eventually, he did what all of my children seem so fond of doing, he tattled.

“Mommy, I want to play with the Rollie Talkies!”

It doesn’t matter how much we correct him.  He always says Rollie Talkies.  I figure he’s just being politically correct.  Or maybe he’s got a soft spot for those in wheel chairs.
