Bear’s new obsession is playing pranks. Much to my dismay, he used his allowance money to buy a book about pranks at the school book fair. If living with three guys wasn’t hard enough, living with an 8 year-old boy who is an aspiring practical joker has me on high alert.

And what does my husband do about it? He buys the kid a ring that squirts and a spring-loaded, fake bloody finger.

*insert long-suffering here*
