Spitters Anonymous

This happened earlier

but is a story worth

telling...again...

The Trio have all been bathed

and snugged into pjs.

We are having

S'mores..made inside..

in the microwave.

But wait...

someone has spit a glob

of sticky white marshmallow

on the floor.

Hmmmm..

Questions..

Who spit the marshmallow out?

There are 5 players involved.

Papa & I are exempt from

questioning..

that leaves 3 would-be culprits.

The one that turns her back

and ignores me is..

of course..

the most likely suspect.

She is the winner!

Ding...ding..ding..

We have a winner folks.

So SweetCheeks, I ask her rather sweetly,

Why'd you spit the marshmallow out?

The response...Are you ready?

Ih didn't !

Yeah right! And I am 25 and weigh 129 pounds!

You didn't?

Noah~

Do I look stupid here?

Don't answer that because there IS

No. Good. Answer.

Threatened with a time out for all of them

if no one fesses up.

two of the players start crying.

Player Number Three

finally fesses up.

I do'ed it~

Players 1 & 2 think this is very funny.I finally get an..

Ih sez Ih wus sorry~

Really? My hearing must be going.

Cuz I didn't hear you.

Ih sayed it befoarh~

Player #2 (the peace maker) says..

She said it really soft, Nana!

Okay- SweetCheeks..glad you are sorry...take your place

on the time out step..

How long do I haffta sit there?

(As if she has a concept of time)

Hmmmm...you are 3- 3 minutes.

Player number 2 jumps in.

But, Nana...she is just turned 3 so

she really is just over 2..

This bargaining chip has been thrown

out because later,

if Player #2 gets in trouble,

she feels she can bargain her time down.

I've been in this rodeo before.

As I am hauling

Little Miss Naughty off to Step #3

I ask once more..

SweetCheeks..WHY did you

spit the marshmallow on the floor?

Ready, folks? Remember apology

has already been accepted.

No answer.

Huh? How come you did that?

Ih sayed Ih didn't Nana!

This is accompanied by large

crocodile tears...

which almost sways me..

On the way to the steps

I notice that

SOMEONE

has written on the wall.

Who did that? I ask~

I doan know, Nana..

Yoah already know iss not me

cuz Ih was spittin' murshmullow

overah therah.

Uh-huh...

An' Nana?

Yes?

Ih not gonna spitt eny more!

Somedays I wish I drank.
