I’m just curious… does your child do things like this?
In a moment of mommy distraction (okay, make that ten minutes of mommytime) quietly sneak into the refrigerator and steal food, say like a pound of fresh strawberries?
And, if your child does do something like that, does she then sneak those strawberries into her “kitchen” in her playroom and proceed to patiently, yet speedily, deleaf the delicate fruit piece by piece and sprinkle the leaves over the entirety of the off-white area rug?
Really? And does your child then go so far to as to sit in the middle of her “kitchen”, carefully mulling over each individual strawberry, being sure that she covers every one with just a smidgen of sidewalk chalk, aka according to her little sister, medicine, aka decorations according to Princess?
Well, if your child does or has ever done anything like this and you are still sane in spite of it, Sista, we need to meet for coffee!


OH no…poor you!! i am sure you are not alone. but i gotta say, what a clever child…
ummm… try getting the frozen blueberries out of the freezer and smearing blueberry juice all over the carpet and anything else she comes in contact with.
Make mine a double shot cappucino…
ooohhhh- thats bad! I have had to clean frozen blueberries off the wall - my husband thought it was funny to throw them in the air to catch in his mouth - and my two year old - he just throws them. NOT COOL
Where do they come up with these things.
We have had our share of these ridiculous things too!
my then 2 year old daugter took all the easter eggs out of the fridge and cracked the shells all over the floor. took some bites then threw the rest in the (wicker) garbage can in the bathroom. Big brother stood by innocently and “egged” her on. it was a bitch to clean up and I yelled myself hoarse!
D&D coffee please. Light, no sugar….
Very cute story. Most of my kids household dispersement of food comes primarily as a side effect of their atrocious table manners.
But, the one thing that stuck out is that you actually have an off-white area rug in your house. Is this a remnant from your pre-child life, or did you purchase said rug after your child was born in a moment of temporary delusional hopefulness?
