The Truth Comes Out

You've gotta love four year olds and their honesty. Daddy came home for dinner and Charley said, "Guess what daddy? When Rian was here we sneaked into the kitchen and the lid was off of the cookie bowl and we snuck a cookie and shared it." He thought only daddy could here...because when I exploded with "WHAT!" He turned looking at me with a shocked face. He then continued to blame Henry. He said, "Well Henry told us to go and take a cookie when you weren't looking." Henry was napping by the way. Unbelievable. Although you gotta love that they shared one cookie.

I knew something was fishy. When I called over to them and said,
"What is going on in there?". They responded "Nothing" But Rian stood there and stared at me with wide eyes covering her mouth. Then ran back behind the island in the kitchen. Daddy's question...why was the lid off the cookie jar. hmmmmmm....

Then Charley informed Daddy...
"Mama disobeyed us when we were jumping on the bed." Yes, I had to ask them twice not to jump on the bed today. Third strike and they would have lost the privilege of playing in the guest room. I am not sure where he learned the word disobeyed. But he obviously was mixed up with the meaning. But daddy had a firm talk about obeying his mama. I sat in the other room snickering. Glad Ed dealt with it because I don't think I could have kept a straight face...especially when Ed had to repeat because Charley responded with "What?" His hearing is still leaving a lot to be desired.
