An international incident

The other day we were at the Wailing Wall and we were involved in an international incident. Carter was just minding his own business running innocently around the site when a cute little Jewish boy, about the same age as Carter, with his Yamaka and a bottle in his mouth came over to say hi (or so we thought). We as parents stood back with anticipation to watch Carter as he was about to interact with another culture. Then out of nowhere this little kid clocked Carter across the head! Not just once but twice & his mother didn't do anything! By the time the UN (Michelle) got over there the aggressor had Carter by the cheek and was yanking! Well... you don't mess with my child! So I pulled the brat off, swung him around and...ok, I didn't really do anything - we acted all Canadian! And we thought the Arabs were the aggressors...

Needless to say Carter is a little leary of foreign kids these days...

PS - You may wonder why we have this all on film... Jeff was across the courtyard with our telephoto lens not totally aware of the situation until it was too late.

Poor Carter! Evan says to bring Carter back home so they can play cars in peace.

i am very glad jeff documented this incident for international scrutinization

the only challenge i can see thus far is there is no evidence of actual physical contact

we do, however, see the UN intervening prematurely, breaking up what appears to be a healthy diplomatic conversation

it is not until the UN has forcefully ended the peaceful engagement that we see the young canadian patriot become physically distraught, obviously at the breakdown of international relations.

if you would like the committee to further review your claim, please provide additional documentation

otherwise this blog will be shut down in order to block the canadian propaganda, and prevent an international incident

sincerely, Bono
