Help! Somebody get Prince Charming to rescue me! It stinks in here!! |
I’m so excited to be co-hosting the Mischievous Mondays blog hop! It doesn’t take a lot of effort to prove my girls are mischievous. You might remember my post about Olivia stealing brown sugar from last week.
Here’s a mischievous moment that repeats itself over and over around here: Rosemary writes the script for a prank in her mind before
she actually pulls the prank. She plans
to stuff her daddy’s shoes with princess figurines so that when he goes to put them
on…Whoa, Nellie! Princess figurines in Daddy’s shoes so his feet won't fit. Absolutely hilarious. This
is pranking awesomesauce. She can’t hold it in any longer. She tells Olivia. They
are now prankster partners. They plot and plan for a good 7 minutes. There is
giggling, whispering, secrets.
Then just a little more time passes and it gets quiet. Quiet is never a good thing.
Olivia goes straight to the shoes, alone and armed
with princess figurines. She’s loading the shoes herself. She lugs the dirty
Newbalance sneakers, now full of plastic Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, into
the kitchen. They land with a thud on the floor, right at her daddy’s feet. “Try on your
shoes, Daaaaaaaddy,” she says with a singsong voice, an evil grin on her face.
She turns, walks back to her sister, and smirks, “I gave Daddy
the shoes, Sissy. He’s putting them on right now!” A moment of pure,
unadulterated wickedness.
Rosemary cries big, fat tears. She does the ugly cry. Her plan is foiled. “Olivia ruins
EVERYTHING!” she wails. She cries for 20 good minutes while I say "I know" a lot. Olivia is still jumping around, satisfied. I send her away just so Rosemary doesn't have to look at her.
Finally, I give up and put them in the bath. By now, everything just
feels…dirty. Baths wash away the most mischievous of moments.
By tomorrow, it will all be down the drain, and they'll be plotting together again.
