There was a candy bar. Not just any candy bar. A scrumptious Cadbury’s double chocolate candy bar from Karl. I got lotion and Dillon got the candy bar, but was nice enough to share with me, with an unspoken agreement that since I got the lotion, the candy bar was ‘mostly’ his (aka, don’t eat it all while I’m gone at work!). Dillon stored the candy bar on a shelf that is not designated for food. Devon also likes to climb a chair onto the counter to get that food in the non-designated-for-food cupboard. So initially, I move the candy bar into the cupboard that has child-proof latches on it (and eat a square or 3). Next time I see the candy bar, it’s moved back into the formerly named cupboard. I move it back (and eat more). He moves it back (to the wrong place of course–cause I’m right, he’s wrong). It is no longer about Devon getting the candy bar, it’s about who’s going to win out on the spot. It kind of turned into a fun game, until one dark and dreary day, the candy bar met it’s fate… Who won, you may ask? Dillon? Nope. Me then? Nope. See for yourself.
I came upstairs and there he was, eating the rest.
Christie your boys are so CUTE! And you are a cute mom!
Isn’t it crazy how quiet they can be when they are doing something they KNOW you wouldn’t approve of? But all of the rest of the time, they yell and scream and fight and drive you (me) crazy! And I love the smug smile on his face. Pretty precious!
Ha! Chocolate sneaker! Sounds like he belongs to the Brinkerhoff family!
He’s so funny. I love the chocolate spot war. Doesn’t it seem that no matter what we do, in the end, the children ALWAYS win?!
Oh that is so funny, He is one cute kid, with that (ha i already ate all gone) look on his face. To cute!
Your kids are absolutely hilarious! Sometimes when Brad and I get bored and need a spirit lift we get on your blog and read all of the funny things your kids say (that are on the side bar). We are always rolling over laughing! I can’t wait until Kaiden is old enough to say funny things!
