The Doorbell
After watching the boy’s efforts for some time, the man moves closer to the boy’s position. He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child’s shoulder, leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring.
Crouching down to the child’s level, the man smiles benevolently and asks, “And now what, my little man?”
The boy replies, “Now we run!”

I'd have a problem doing that. I think that the little boy would stand out on the sidewalk and laugh at me. That little whipper snapper.
Have a great Tuesday Sandee & Zane. See ya.

I'm betting the guy can't run very fast either. 🙂
Haha! Oh this is awesome. Totally something I could see my husband falling into.
Yep, we forget those childhood games we used to play. 🙂
Little boys just get taller and grow whiskers. They are still little boys on the inside. Bless their hearts.
Big hugs from one blessed wife to another, honey…
Mine is a little boy too, but we are mighty lucky to have them. 🙂
awwwwwww too cute hun! have a great week:) hugzzzzzz!! xoxoxo
You too Angel. Love you. 🙂
Sometimes we forget the games we played as kids. It just takes a kid to remind us of how easy it is to have a little mischievous fun. No harm, no foul. 😀
Except for the person having to answer the door. 🙂
LOL I hope he scooped the boy up and run lmao
Have a dingdongtastic day :-f
I'm guessing he's going to be all by himself when the door gets answered. 🙂
The boy probably spends time on the phone calling random numbers. "Is your refrigerator running?"-"You better catch it".
I remember that one too. We were so awful weren't we. 🙂
I recall doing that and worse in my younger days—It was so much fun!!
Me too Ron, me too. 🙂
Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great day!! xoxoxo DakotasDen
Did you do this kind of thing when you were a kid? 🙂
an instant accomplice, lol How do these things happen?? 🙂
Yep and he was willing right up until the rum part. 🙂
oh so funny! Thanks for the snickers and giggles!
You're welcome honey. 🙂
Too funny. Hope they both got away. Wonder how many times that he was able to reach the doorbell . Norty kid. Sandee, you and Zane have a wonderful day.
I've a feeling the adult didn't, but the kid surely did. 🙂
Very funny!
We called it Ding Dong ditch'em. Very funny back in the day. Not so much today, from the other side of the door
I don't think the kids in our neighborhood know about this game and we sure aren't going to tell them. 🙂
LOL, hope they both got out of there before they got caught
I do too, but I've a feeling the adult didn't get away. Perhaps no one is home. 🙂
LOL! That's a good one! 😀
Kids find stuff to do to entertain themselves don't they. 🙂
Heeheehee! When we were kids, if we couldn't reach the bell, we used a stick.
I lived in the country so we tipped cows instead. 🙂
Well that little boy is becoming a pain in the patooty very young!
Is it Friday yet? *sigh* Happy almost Wednesday Sandee!
No it's not Friday yet, but you're getting closer to the end of tax season. I know you like that.
Scritches to the babies. ☺
Ding dong ditch! One of my favorite childhood games!!!
Yep, what fun some kids had with this one. 🙂
It's better not to volunteer help with kids, you will be inviting trouble.
I agree because you never quite know what they are doing. 🙂
Another little child scams an adult. I know this is just a joke and not real, and years ago I would've helped, but nowadays I hesitate to help a child unless it's a dire situation in which case I would jump into the fray. Everything is upside down now; not anything like it was when I was kid.
No this was real. Kids actually did this back in the day. Don't know if they still do. I do agree that everything is upside down. 🙂
He must be glad he helped him.
I'm thinking not. 🙂
LOL. My pet rock doesn't believe that I ever did this. He thinks all I ever do is incinerate kitchens.
He's kind of single minded like that. He can sure get into lots of trouble though. 🙂
