Act the fool

On our weekly trip to the library this morning, I reminded the children that they were to obey me while in the library by whispering, walking, staying close, and picking out a few books each. This was the conversation immediately after my reminder.

Andrew: "I think I'm gonna pretend to be a dog today, Mom."

Me: "Suits me fine but not while we're at the library. You're not allowed to act the fool outside of our house."
