A Letter to My Son

umm, Son...

I understand that you're tired today... after all, I was there when you decided to do away with your (sacred and coveted) afternoon nap.

I know you're worn out from frolicking in a pumpkin patch all morning, followed by having to sit still and eat your lunch... at a restaurant, no less. I'm very proud of how well you did at lunch today, by the way.

I can see why the child-safety locks frustrate you and why sharing your "Thomas the Train" pieces with your friend ("the biter") is no fun.

...BUT, what the hell did smearing lotion all over the fireplace and sofa have to do with it? Seriously, what was that about?

With Love,
Your Mom

You called it...Nobody wanted to nap this week! My team has been so cranky. I hope your son, and everyone else sleeps next week...

Well...it isn't so evil...his lotion smearing...unless you see a pattern...I don't mean frequency...I mean a pattern in the lotion smears...you know...like if his lotion smearing looks like ancient Aramaic devilish writings...then you have a real problem...lol

I agree...it could have been worse...poop and/or boogie smearing is worse!

Oh the horror. The greasy mess. I am so sorry this happened to you!
Maybe he had a psychotic episode from lack of sleep?
Good luck with the clean-up.
