I know, I'm a bad blogger. I'm not even feeling all that bad, just got a little busy with holiday preparations and I was in a little bit of mourning for the loss of $860.31 to fix the car.
Today at lunch I took a brief moment to go upstairs to complete a task while my soup heated in the microwave. Bradley was curious as to what would happen if he shook a jar of hot chocolate powder with the lid slightly loose. He concluded that it goes everywhere and that he needs to clean it up quickly before Mommy comes downstairs. He failed to completely clean it up. After some coaxing, I asked him what happened and he told me. I said, "Why didn't you use your brain when you tried that?"
He replied, "I don't know. I didn't know that would happen."
Wendy said in defense of his brother, "Mommy, our brains are smaller."
Sarah said in defense of all kids, "But they are bigger than a dinosuar's"
Later that day Wendy found a plastic clip. She asked me where it came from and I replied, "I don't know."
She said, "But I thought you knew everything."
Wow! Such high expectations. I'm working on it, Wendy. It will take me a while to know everything.
Don't worry, when they reach 13 they will think they know everything.
