Over the years, the kids have accumulated many bikes, scooters, balls, and toys which are never appropriately put away in the family\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapleton-man-realizes-he-will-probably-never-be-able-to-park-in-garage-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">garage<\/a>.  So every morning when Kyle goes out to get into his truck, he inevitably steps on something on his way to work.  \u201cEvery god damn morning, I\u2019m tripping over something,\u201d said Kyle.  \u201cIt\u2019s extremely frustrating.  We have places to put all this shit.  And the kids are old enough to know better.\u201d  Kyle has tried incentivizing the kids to put their things away.  \u201cWe\u2019ve tried telling them that we would get rid of stuff they didn\u2019t put away, but they never believe it.  Plus, we paid for it, so we are only hurting ourselves.  We\u2019ve also tried rewarding them with extra time on their tablets if we saw things were put away in the right places, but that has only come up a couple of times.  We don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d\nKyle finally reached a breaking point, however.  Last week, while walking around to get into his truck, he tripped over a scooter, which banged his knee and also knocked over a bike which scratched his car.  \u201cI was so pissed,\u201d exclaimed Kyle.  \u201cI kicked the scooter away, and threw the bike out of the way.  It was then that I promised myself, if I tripped over another bike or scooter, I was going to kill somebody.\u201d  Kyle was not specific as to whether that person would be a family member or a random passerby, but those who occasionally encounter Kyle should use extreme caution.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6698","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-138","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6698\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
