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!!

*sigh* i can feel my blood pressure rising just reading that because for some strange reason i feel like i’ve been in the middle of that same room and that same conversation (only the names are changed to protect the guilty). while i feel bad for you all, know that you have raised my spirits knowing that i am not alone in my ire.
a cleverer person than i could claim that he couldn’t have made any mess because he had both hands firmly attached to his willy at all times.
oh yes. good luck with the holding back the laughs. soooooo hard 😉
Ah yes, I remember my kindergarten aged older sister blaming the crayon alphabet writing on the bed and lamp on my 2 year old brother…who did not yet know what an alphabet was….
Hi Charles!
