No ice cream

Once again on our way home from school, the kids and I discussed our days. Gillian was a good girl today. She napped (yesterday she didn't nap). John proudly told me "I had no timeouts today!" He paused and then said "But I have something to tell you. I was on the yellow light today." I said well you know what that means, and before I could finish Gillian says "No ice cream!" She was right. No dessert for little boys that are on the yellow light. John tried to talk his way out of it. "But being on the yellow light isn't bad. I just talked when the teacher was talking. That's not bad. If I was bad I would be on the red light." Meanwhile, Gillian is saying "No ice cream. No ice cream. No ice cream." Sorry Johnny. No ice cream for kids on the yellow light.
