I know this is weird, but for those that know me, I'm rarely at a loss for words. But, here I sit on Tuesday evening racking my brain. So, for lack of a better story, here it goes:
Every night when I put Sydney and Chase to bed, they argue over who will shut off the bedroom light last. I tried to let one do it one night and the other the next night. That was a no-go. So, every night, they would get up, one at a time and run to the switch and turn it on and then off again.... over and over until I'd lost my patience.
One night last week, I told them both to stay in bed "or else". I pulled the door almost closed and waited to see who the brave soul would be to turn the light on first. That's when I heard the little instigator (Sydney) whisper.. "Chase, hurry... go turn the light on". At that point, I opened the door and said "I forgot to tell you, it doesn't matter who turns the light on, you will both be in trouble".
I pulled the door almost closed again and waited. That's when Miss Sydney changed her tune and said "Chase... stay in bed and don't you dare touch that light!". Ha! I had to hurry away from the door to keep myself from laughing out loud.
If you've got a TRUE story you'd like to share, hop on over the Once Upon a Miracle... "or else"!
I'm totally cracking up. They are a couple of cute little conspirators! Don't you love it when a parenting idea occurs that does the trick?

ReplyDeleteI love when kids do stuff that you KNOW is wrong, but you just can't help but laugh your head off! Happens to me at school all the time. : )
