My son, who is 6, has recently become obsessed with rule, regulations, safety and law.
While I appreciate his good citizenship and mind for safety, this is getting to be hilarious.
At present our house is covered in Caution and Warning signs.
Our windows have "Warning: Don't Throw Rocks at Windows" complete with accompanying silhouette art, stuck to them.
Sliding glass door? "Caution: Do Not Kick". Picture of a man crying because he kicked through the glass and cut his leg.
Our stairwell? Use Handrail signs, accompanying picture of a sad man falling down the stairs.
Front door? Beware of Dog. I think there is a foot sticking out of the dog's mouth in that picture.
The coffee pot is simply labeled "Hot".
Yeah, I'm finding those and others all over the place.
He's a midget Citizen on Patrol now too. While driving I was going 63MPH in a 60MPH zone. He plans to notify the police about my transgression.
Yo better not even put the car in gear before everyone in the car is securely buckled up either.
"You can't go yet! I haven't put my seatbelt on all the way!"
I'm not going anywhere, just put your belt on.
"Put it back in Park until I get it on!"
Kids....
Were I evil, I would point out to him that there are also plenty of other things you should not do with eg. glass sliding door, wouldn't they deserve a warning too?
Be glad he's hopefully too young for a "Warning: not for porn" sticker on the PC! :)
When he was three, my son told me he was going to be the blinker police when he grew up so that he could make eveyone use their blinkers when they were supposed to.
Of course, he also said he wanted to be a policeman so that I could follow him and not have to stop at red lights...
Beware of reading next spoiler.

Oh, bless his heart! Can’t get him to consider moving here, can you? I swear everyone here considers the blinker to be a warning, and we never, ever warn our victims now, do we? No, that wouldn’t be sporting!

Prior to my current job I used to drive 18-wheelers cross country.
Talk about being able to bully other drivers.
"Yeah buddy, I'm changing lanes. Sure hope you have an exit strategy here."
I live by the rule "If it's bigger than me, it has the right of way." I also try to be courteous to truckers. They (you) have a tough enough job as it is without some idiot trying to cut them off.

The other morning, about 6:30 AM, our 6-yr old boy crawled into bed with us. Since he woke me up, I got up, went to the bathroom, and got back into bed. That's when he loudly protested, "DAD! You didn't wash your hands!!"
Since I have been telling him this exact thing (albeit not at 6:30 AM), up I went to wash my hands.
The worst thing is that stuff like this is occurring more and more. Parenting.....
…but…but…signaling is an ‘act of agression’
My wife was lectured yesterday for not yielding to the ‘woo woo’. “Momma, when you hear that noise…the woo woo…you have to pull over.”
