never cry wolf

Posted on Monday, January 29th, 2007 at 1:41 pm

This morning Jacob let out a shrill scream just moments after I left the room he was in. I came back to see what would cause such a commotion. I was greeted with a giant smile that said, “I knew you couldn’t resist me!” There was nothing wrong with this smart little boy.

Jacob laughed while I told him the story of “Never Cry Wolf”. He did seem to pay attention to the one-sided discussion, but I don’t think he really cared. Or else he knew that I would continue to come every time he uttered such a scream.

I think we need to buy an espresso machine for our house. Parenting is going to require a lot of good quality coffee and I won’t have time to go into town each time I need a cup!

Would you happen to have a picture of the ‘lone wolf’ standing on the hill top in the snow, at night?
My mom taught me about the little boy who cried wolf at an early age too. We had that picture in our living room and I knew how scary wolves could be!
My sister, Lois, was so afraid of that wolf in the picture she would never look at it.
I have that picture now in my home office, but you could get one to impress Jacob. I saw one in an Iowa antique story for in the $20s or low $30s, framed.
