Connor and Alex went on a field trip to the local RCMP station last week. Connor got arrested (voluntarily) and was locked in a cell for a couple of minutes, which he thought was just great! Which inspired some interesting dinner conversation. For instance, I did not know that our cells here in town don't have bars, but sliding plexiglass doors. They also have "only a toilet!!!" And apparently the prisoners eat turkey dinner once a week.
Really? Not too sure about the validity of that one...
But, as the boys were relaying their adventurous school day to myself and their younger sisters, my daughter said that funniest thing. Well, maybe not the funniest... but the funniest that day, for sure.
Kirstin: Why do they put bad guys in jail?
Me: Well, they have to put them somewhere. Where else would you put them?
Kirstin (with a completely serious, thoughtful look on her face): How about in volcanoes?
Oh my, I think that my daughter just might have the answer to our failing economy. Close the prisons and throw all the criminals into volcanoes. That's going to save us tax payers a bundle!!!

They must have upgraded the jail because back in my brother's day, it was definitely bars. The toilet is the same though, sounds like. I love your daughter's response to dealing with criminals. Although I think Maddie's dad might not have been around to create Maddie, if that had been followed. ;P
