As much as I would love for you to imagine me as this bad a$ mom; driving her minivan around at 2:30 in the morning, pulling over on some dark, abandon road and ripping this stop sign off the post with her bare hands, this just isn't the case.
Sorry to disappoint.
But this gift has opened Henry's eyes to the potential of future Christmases. He sat on a stool in the kitchen between myself and my sister, looked squarely at her and said "Next year, I'd like a working stop light".
Disclaimer, as to avoid any potential felony charges, my sister helped in the clean up of the F-5 tornado that hit the Parkersburg, IA area in 2008. This stop sign was wrapped around it's post like a metal taco. It was taken down and replaced. The above sign was to be scrap metal.

oh man. a stop sign. that's an awesome gift. i'd like one of those. for myself. for when my girls are out of control.
also. a speed limit sign might help, too.
hope your christmas was awesome.
Very cool gift! That is the kind of thing my son would love too. Glad y'all had a great Christmas
That is an awesome gift! I think a working stop light might have it's perks as well.
What an awesome present! My sister and her friends jacked a stop sign once... until my dad made her put it back. Haha!
So the stop light. I'm figuring you're going to need a lookout person for that!
a stop sign--love it! you have a while to work on next year's!
I always wanted to steal this sign that was by my aunt's house that said "Slow Deaf Child" This was the perfect description of me while I wandered through my teenage years.
The things kids pick as their favorite gifts?! Free bent and battered stop sign vs. expensive, long thought out gifts that Santa brought. Hmm, what's the deal with that!?
Sounds like you had a Christmas filled with family. Hope that it was fun and exciting!
LOL! What an exciting Christmas!! I can't WAIT to see that working stop light...

Now that is a fun present! My brothers may or may not have had a few signs like that.... but yeah enough said :)
Sounds like he had a great time!
Love your disclaimer.
I'm disappointed that you didn't use your minivan to steal something. I was always under the impression that the only reason people drove minivans was for the extra storage space when committing a crime.
This is awesome. And the disclaimer...priceless!
Ya know, I might not have believed that you weren't out there stealing stop signs if I hadn't seen the aftermath of those tornados. Ya know probably not the best joke I've ever made, but you know what I mean. :)
He has got those blue eyes like my daughter has, the ones that you could just stare at all day.
Back to the stop sign, very very cool present!
God woman, you got the mayhem and fun rolling.
Loves it.
Henry will look back, ages and ages hence, and realize your motherhood made all the difference!
lol. But you know what I mean.
hugs, and if we didn't live halfway across the country apart, can you imagine the kids and the damage we would/could do?
LOL...pretty cool..and a working stop light..imagine!
I still know in my heart you are a bad a$$ mom :) Way to go - my kids would LOVE a stop sign!!!
Happy holidays and the best of all New Year's to you guys :)
Even if you didn't get him the sign, you are a bad a55 mom! Good luck with the working stop light.
Merry Christmas.
thank you for the disclaimer, i was about to call and report you.
for real though, i love how they love the little things.
