Forged in the furnace loyalties
From our guest blogger, MoZiLLa…
I could not wait until tomorrow to share this tidbit.
It is currently 2:20 PM… the time of day when naps generally are ending.
Naps in this house usually are successful for the triplets on weekdays as ‘school’ in the morning tires them out. Today…. not so much. Instead, they threw another party and when their mother entered their bedroom they had moved the two beds that could be moved, pulled out drawers and emptied their contents as well as liberally dispensing Thomas train track pieces on the floor. Time stood still as all movement within the room froze….. Tess fixed Jasper with a steely eye and asked, "Jasper, who did this mess"?
"Thela and Caryth," Jasper replied.
"Sela, who did this mess?" Tess asked… "Carys and JJ," Sela replied.
"Carys, who did this mess?" Tess asked… "Sela and Jasper," Carys replied.
I stood at the doorway and that is what I heard – I cannot tell a lie! Priceless conversation followed. There were wails of mortification that they had been ‘busted’ but very little remorse for the actual crime! Some of their comments to Tess had us unable to look at them as we fought back smiles ….. such as JJ’s last minute dead-man-walking attempt for clemency: "JJ, you know I have to give you a spanking for disobeying, don’t you"?
"No, how about Caryth"? was his manly reply.
I bid you adieu!!
