Developmental milestone

Joe's mom is in Idaho this weekend, so the boy came to court with me this afternoon. I had a sentencing hearing; I told Joe the man was not bad, but that he took a car that didn't belong to him, and that he had to stay in jail for a while, but that he was going to go home tonight.

When we called my wife, Joe announced, "Mommy, I saw real handcuffs!"

I do hope he's not scarred for life.
