Good grief, Charlie Brown! I just couldn't wait any longer to post this, not even the extra two hours it would take for today to become tomorrow.
Here is a discussion that the Bear and I had with Polly and Tigger on the way to taekwondo earlier this week. We were discussing the warm, spring-like weather we’ve been having.
Polly: We were so happy to be allowed outside today to play in the yard. We got dirty digging earthworms and went into the house to wash our hands.
Tigger: I couldn’t get all the dirt off my arm so I used my toothbrush to scrub it off.
Gram (Me): Not the toothbrush you use for brushing your teeth, I hope?
Tigger: Yeah. But I washed my toothbrush afterward. It looked fine.
Gram: !!!!
Polly: Well, I just went to the dentist so I think I’ll use the new toothbrush he gave me and give Tigger my old one.
Since I was driving the girls couldn't see me directly so I managed to keep my laughter hidden. I glanced over at the Bear who looked like he was about to require the Heimlich maneuver at any moment.
Oh, it’s great to be back driving The Crew to taekwondo! I missed our little talks.
(Here are the pictures and story behind that day that can be found on Karen's blog. She got to tell about the fun. I get to tell about the tale that was told afterward, and perhaps alert her to the fact that shenanigans are happening in the bathroom again when she is otherwise occupied.)
Yeah, I knew about the toothbrush thing. No secrets in this house. ;)
ReplyDeleteDid they tell you that they were calling the worm their "treasure"? You know it's been a long winter when little girls think an earthworm is a treasure.
Ha ha that is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading Karen's blog. I'm glad I wandered over here and got "the rest of the story" on the warm afternoon outside! :)
