Why is this my fault?

When Grant Wood, the American painter of landscapes, was about five years old, his mother left the house for a short time during which he spilled a bottle of India ink when he was drawing on the floor. He was very fearful of what would happen when she came home. When she did, though, there were no recriminations. She cleaned up the mess and gave him a hug. It was at that moment, Wood said later, that he knew that he was going to be an artist.

When our 48 year old daughter was about that age she got into a cupboard where we stored our can goods, and she took off almost all the labels before we found out why she was so quiet we were just in the next room watching TV, now that was fun trying too figure out what too open for a meal.

It could have been worse. Our son was on the phone with my wife when our grandson was little. Suddenly she hears him shout "RYAN", then, "I have to go mom". When he called back later we were informed little Ryan had just dumped a whole gallon of cooking oil all over the floor.

HA! Too cute! Is his name Ben? Our Ben is always into trouble like that (and he is 15 years and still always into something.
Your fault--why of course! Give him an extra cuddle while he smells like bath and baby powder!

Playing with baby powder is not bad compared to trying to potty train a two year old who thought it might be fun to use an empty shoebox instead of the training potty.

She can't stay mad forever. Meanwhile you get the last laugh by having the photos. Pretty soon they will be family treasures and you will be the hero.

One Mother's Day, when my grandson was about two or three, he was going to make coffee for his mom as his gift. It was an automatic coffee maker and he'd watched mom do it so he takes the filter, coffee and creamer and puts a LOT of each into the water compartment on the coffee maker. Luckily, Mom got wise to the quiet and checked up on him. Needless to say, coffee took a while that morning, but it made one of those wonderful memories. I sure do wish I had a photograph of that!!!
