I'll Throw It Out Myself

When Brendan was about seven he liked playing with those little hot wheel cars, however, he was not good about putting them away. I usually walked around the house barefoot and believe me it's not a pleasant experience to step on one of those cars. One day after stepping on several of them I picked them up and told Brendan if I ever stepped on one of them again I was throwing it away. That kept them away from my feet for about an hour.  Later while cooking dinner I see Christopher whispering something to Brendan. Then Brendan picks something up off the floor and goes goes over to the trash can. I asked him 'what are you doing?' He shows me a little car and reminds me I said if I found any on the floor I would throw it out. I proceeded to walk over to him took the car out of his hand and as I thrust the car into the trash I said "then at least give me the damn satisfaction of throwing it out myself."
