Milo at cubscouts

We were at Helene Madison Pool for cubscouts. There was a vending machine and the kids were of course begging to get some soda or some candy.
Suddenly I see how Milo is on the floor and a bunch of scouts are cheering him on. He had managed to get his hand through the lock system and was touch and messing around with a soda. He finally gets it out.

I asked him to return it and say "I stole this soda but I want to return it" - which he did.
Later in the car he said:
Milo:"Papa, ich habe mein Gehirn benutzt um die Soda da rauszuholen. Ich habe gemerkt dass wenn ich die buttons an der Seite druecke, die Soda released wird!"
Me:"Und natuerlich haettest du die Soda nicht getrunken weil Gerhards nichts klauen, stimmts?"
Milo:"Natuerlich!"
Watson:"But Milo you said you would drink it if you could get it out!"
so funny.

Milo WTF

Okay so I admit it. I said in the car "WTF - what's that guy doing?" Milo immediately picked up on it:
Milo:"Papa, was heisst WTF?"
So I told him what it meant. He thought it's the best thing ever. So he got this exam at school to fill in true and false questions:
















He added the "W" to all the true/false questions to turn them into "WTFs". Didn't keep him from getting all the answers ritght. Teacher didn't pick up on it either. Then this:





The question at school was to add into the bubble what these folks may be thinking about world peace. Looking at their faces, they're clearly thinking "WTF".
Then the drawing about world peace. All the intricate detail that went into the killing and the killing methods. Then of course, all that evil has a cross over it, with a sloppy "handshake for peace" drawn to the right of that. One knows exactly where a boy's true loyalties lie.
