My Youngest is a little Hero.
Husband and our friend T took four children between them to the local swimming baths. I was Noticeably Absent, having lunch with Eldest and friend.
On coming out of swimming pool and crossing the car park, Youngest and T came across a possy of Youths. Larking about. Smirking. Talking loudly and Watching. Girls, all Snarls and Lipstick, leaning against wall. Two boys were fighting. Not really at it Hammer and Tongs, but looking rather Menacing. One pushed another into the hedge surrounding car park.
Youngest watches this in Total Disgust.
Points at the largest Youth.
'You,' he says Very Loudly and Sternly to the Miscreant, 'Are Not Playing Nicely.'
And with that walks on to the car. Little four year old back tall and straight.
Youths scuff the floor a bit with shoes. And move on.
Youngest. You rock.

Brilliant!
He is clearly a fine, upstanding (if rather small) pillar of the community.
Wow, get him!
You taught him well.
I'm totally impressed!
What a star! Has he thought about running for Parliament? He stands a pretty good chance!
Buy that boy an ice cream!
Oh, he does rock!
Yeah. He totally just made up for the loo carnage. Totally.
You should be proud.
Way to go youngest!!!
He is definitely well cool, I am very imoressed
Can I borrow him to move on the low life round here?
lix -A very small but significant pillar!
Laura - Isnt he a tiny hero. Just loved the stern tone... as relayed back to me by my proud friend T!
Sir B - me too... totally!
Mud - now, there's a thought. He'd put those political advisors in the shade!
Pam - certainly will! And large glass of lemonade... his favourite tipple and given for Extreme Treats now and then!
CS - Doesnt he just!! Thanks for saying so...
Diane - am very glad to hear it! Loo fiasco rather lowered the tone...
NN - am positively BRISTLING with pride... if one can Bristle. Such a hero.
Scrimcat - isnt he a little star... glad you think so too!
GG - totally... when can he start!
That has made my day!
Good on him!!
You are right to be proud of him.
How gorgeous. Can I bagsie him for my little one?? Sounds like a Mother-in-law's wet dream...
Youngest INDEED rocks. Out of the mouths of babes issues wisdom.
As Liz said - never too young to be a pillar!
They are always looking for magistrates, you know - although perhaps it might clash with his loo-blocking committments...
Children learn the way they should go, at their mothers knee.
So you both ROCK!
Good for you!
A hero indeed LWM - we need lots more like him. But you won't make him wear his underpants over his trousers will you? A x
That's so sweet, what a little guy. Anti-social behaviour terrifies me, good on him!
Good lad, and brave too! Glad they were appropriately abashed :)
...and next week in school we shall learn about "Citizens Arrest" before having some practical homework.
Some mindless moron vandalised my car in Eastbourne earlier today - where was your son when I needed him?
Don't you just it when your kids show who's boss.
What a brave little man. We need more in the community like him.
Watch out in the future you naughty guys!
Wow, you've got a future leader of the United Nations!
Move over Barak Obama!
Awww, so sweet. Did your heart nearly explode out of your chest, I know mine would have... can we loan him to the UN?
What a fantastic tale. How brave he was and how right. Go you son.
I like your young man.
You've taught him well.
P.S. Apologies but I've tagged you in my last post, Mary Poppins
What a kid! You must have been so proud of him! Loved the last poo story also..I really enjoy your stories! :)
Oh thank you all for those lovely comments! Sorry to do a cop out and one comment fits all... life is BUSY. But I really appreciate these lovely comments. One day Youngest can look at this blog and read all your comments. How cool is that. And he will see what a Dude he is.
Not tonight, though. Little so and so was Cross. And let us all know about it.
Thanks again. XXX
Hey girl...
I'm missing you. Is everything okay?

Tatersmama - oh how kind you are! Am fine, just enormously busy with my little school... had to Turn Off My Blog for a week or so! Now back on. You Kind Thing. XX
