It was a nice , sunny, Thursday afternoon everyone was actually getting along, and my pre-schoolers were upstairs doing something they weren't of course supposed to be doing..jumping on their beds. After I listened to them for a few minutes laughing hysterically; I decided I needed to put an end to it. Of course just as I started to yell, I heard a "thwack!" and that horrible pause of silence where you just know it's going to be bad and finally that loud, shrill cry.
It all ended with a black-eye and bruised cheek. Just in time for school pictures.
After the ice pack was applied and popsicles were handed out, I started the inquisition...
"How did this happen?"
"We were jumping on the bed.."
"I know that, but you're not supposed to do that..."
"We know, but we were trying to eat the dust."
"Eat... The... Dust?"
"You know Mommy, the sparkles in the sun?"
"Oh."
My cleaning skills are obviously detrimental to one's health... I hope some one has revoked my housekeeping license.

I'd eat the dust also if it sparkled, glittered or looked pink and frou frou-y, sweet mommy chickee!! Made ya humble, right?!!!?! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteSmoochies to the "bed jumpers!", hah
Connie
Oh....from the mouth of babes!!!!
ReplyDeleteHeck that's nothing to worry about....to eat the dust at our house you'd need a steak knife!!!!!

That's hilarious! And what family photo hall wall would be complete without a shiner pic? ;)

Oh, no! Of course that happens right before school pictures get taken. Just love that they said they were trying to eat the dust! -Julia
ReplyDeleteLOL...how I wish I couldn't relate...but I can. Hey, it's us creative-types...we can't be good at EVERYTHING!! And frankly I'd rather be creative than neat and tidy. :-)
