Big Mouths, Big Ears

Ever since we discovered that Juarez, Mexico is the #1 murder capital of the world, we half jest that JJ is risking life and limb when he goes there for his work trips. Of course, we discovered this only after his first trip in which he forgot his map and drove all around the city asking for directions and acquiring many strange looks but thankfully no bullets. Since then each trip has been met with some trepidation and conversations joking about him coming back alive. While, I can't remember ever specifically talking to the kids about how dangerous Juarez is, it's become recently apparent how much they've been listening. When I got off the phone with JJ last night and told the kids he was on his way home, Elayna responded with glee “Oh yay, Daddy didn't die!” Then this morning, Jordan came into our room and asked JJ if he got shot.

Oh dear, we are such bad parents!
