Kill, Kill!

Palmer is a big fan of the Wii.  He started by bowling (and doing a darn good job I might add!) but recently he has taken up boxing.  Remember... he is THREE.  I think Carter showed it to him.  (At least I'll blame it on him).  When he punches his fists he says "Kill, Kill, Kill" each time he throws a punch.  I am horrified at this behavior!!!!!  He told uncle Jay on the phone last night that he had fun killing yesterday.  We had to have a sit down talk about when punching people is appropriate... which in my mind for a three year old is NEVER!  How can he distinguish between real live vs. video game?  Why am I having these conversations with him so early?  Again, blaming Carter for introducing it... although neither of us know where he came up with the "kill" idea.  I can easily see how video game induce violence... and I know that is a controversial topic.  Needless to say, boxing at our house is off limits for quite a while.  Bowling... now there's a game I can handle.

Wow. That's a hard one. You just never know where these little kiddos come up with stuff. At least he is getting exercise. . .??? Maybe silver lining?

Hi Mandi! I found your blog through Lindsay's. I've enjoyed reading what you and Carter and the boys have been up to. Take care!

Hi Mandi! I can relate. Our nephew is three, and we've had a similar experience with him. I enjoy keeping up with y'all through the blog.
