    OK Alice, now instead of collectinā€™ rocks, youā€™re gonna be breakinā€™ ā€˜emā€¦ (What?, Madelineā€™s not yellinā€™ at me.)

    Itā€™s now provenā€”both of these kids can be nasty. Just because Petey doesnā€™t want anything in life (hardly any food, for instance), doesnā€™t mean that someone else canā€™t even have a piece of rock. Otherwise, humans would never have made it through the Stone Age.

    Cā€™mon, cut Petey some slack. He needs some form of big brother entertainment. And Alice is pretty much low-hanging fruit!

    I had no idea they took inventory! Honest! Iā€™ll sneak that agate back after dark if they donā€™t nab me first.

    The gnome is on the verge of panic.

    Thatā€™s funny!

    Really!

    It reminded me of the times when we went hiking and our kids would look for some rocks that had funny or odd shapes. Later when we got home they would paint them to make that picture from their imagination.

    I just copied the gravel inventory sheet for years because it cuts into beer time.

    Put the gravel around the gnome when you get home, because thereā€™s no place like gnome.

    Well, for a microsecond there, Alice had the means to develop a conscience. Itā€™s good to see that she avoided that existential crisis by discovering the technique of shifting blame.

    The garden gnome is taking copious notes, Alice. I would be less afraid of inventory than I would of the creepy machinations of garden statuary. Probably best to keep Pollyfill within sight at all times from now on.

    As big brothers go, Petey is furthest from a bully. He is simply fulfilling a time honored tradition of razzing younger siblings and keeping them on their toes.

    Mom, you may not be able to hear the silent siren of the Gnome Police, but I can assure you, kids are tuned in to that sort of thing. I wonder if their posse still rides pink flamingos?

    Petey is having too much fun teasing Alice.

    In fact, ā€œis that a sirenā€ recalls a prank played on the buddy giving us a lift by a girl friend and meā€¦.
