Went outside to get the mail, when I came in my son had opened a package of lures and is dangling them in the fish tank. Last night, I was cleaning out the pantry and found a package of hamburger buns, opened, with one bite mark out of each one of them.
That must have been when I was at work last night. :))
Are your kids crazy too?
Momma W. I totally agree, Its completely hilarious! My husband and I were cracking up when we saw the buns last night. It was after he was in bed and we were like "Awwww!' Hes so crazy! I thought the fishing lure thing was pretty smart. They actually are his lures from his tackle box. He plays with his tackle box all the time! We hide the hooks of course.
My daughter got out a pair of tights and was trying to wear them like gloves. I told her that that isn't how you wear them, so next thing I know, she has them on her head. She looked like a mini home invader.
She also does the one bite thing with carrots, and cucumbers. What's up with that?
What a creative boy you have!
We have days when they are crazy...and days when they are angels.
It just comes with the territory. I know you are frustrated and the buns are a waste but someday you will laugh. Write this stuff down in a journal.
I try to use these moments to teach rather than punish. Have your son eat sandwiches with those bite riddled buns all this week. Talk to him about safety and that the lures are not his property and he was not to open them.
I don't know how old your boy is but he sounds alot like my boys. THey are curious and creative. These are not malicious acts. I always try to put their actions in perspective. It is easier to deal with these issues than a child who is rude,disrespectful, defiant, and doing things just to get to you. To me this sounds like a little boy...just being a little boy. (frustrating as it is)
Good luck and best wishes. This too shall pass!!
Ours is too young for those sorts of hijinks as yet, but I'll share two often told and retold stories about my hubs and myself-
hubs was apparently inspired by the EWOKS in Starwars (we are children of the 70s), and took two tea bags, and spun them in circles, while spinning around himself, in his mom's largely white kitchen. Floors, ceilings, cabinets, and counters were all splattered with tea.
after watching my Mom and Grandmother clean the kitchen, I got hold of, opened and poured a 5 gallon container of EVOO all over the floor, grabbed a tea towel, and started "scrubbing" the floor.
enjoy the mischeif.
Oh yes! lol My girl (2 1/2) does things just like that! One time I found her crouched on the kitchen table taking one bite out of every apple! lol Today I found her up to her elbows in the toilet playing...EW!
Mine's too young to do anything nearly as funny, but he hides EVERYTHING and thinks it's hilarious!
A friend of mine loosened all of the dining room chair screws when he was a kid. His older sister was babysitting and was on the phone for a long time... he found a screwdriver and went to town! Needless to say it was a formal dining space, so it went undetected until the next dinner party. They still give him a hard time about that one!
I'm not even telling you where my son put a tampon he found in my purse :)
Or why my other kids painted the cat , the carpet, walls and the bananas blue with acrylic paint...............they are all crazy, I'm always wondering, why I'm not drinking???
