I'm raising a little nazi!

So we're studying the American Revolution here, and of course while talking about the colonies and such we have to talk about King George III and the things he did.
We read a book about King George and talked about it a bit, and then I asked Kelsey (my son, age 5) what *he* would do if he were King for a day.

His answer? Tell everyone to stop cussing!
He's got the whole thing worked out, too.
He'd find out if you were cussing because if your neighbor or friend heard you cussing, they'd come tell him. Then he'd send the British soldiers to your house to bring you back to him and if you admitted that you had cussed, he would put you in a cage for 30 minutes!
If you lied and said you didn't cuss, he'd put you in the cage anyway for lying. (Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't...)

After 30 minutes he'd let you out and let you go home.
But if you got caught cussing again, he wasn't sure what he'd do... he said he'd just ask you to stop. (Kinda backwards here, aren't we? hehe)

My mom tried to put this to the test last night and asked him if he would put HER in a cage for 30 minutes... he stuck to his guns and told her he would! His own grandma!

I asked him what made him think that people would tell on their friends and family rather than just keeping it a secret, and he said "Because I am King! Everyone has to do what the King says or I'll put them in a cage, too!"

I suddenly feel this overwhelming need to rush ahead to the part where we learn about Liberty, LOL...
And you guys think President Bush is bad?
