Soooooooooooooooooo, I came home from the trip to the cardiologist yesterday afternoon, and like the good blogger that I am, I went to my computer and shared the good news with all of my virtual friends and regular readers. The girl was at preschool and the Boss had returned to work. After I posted my update I went upstairs only to be greeted by the maniacal cackling of two young boys.
Those of you with children understand that this is never good.
When I walked into our living room I was greeted by this sight:
Why? WHY? I ask you, "WHY?!!"
Being the good blogger that I am, I didn’t race to the window to pull down this offense to all rules of decorum. Instead, I grabbed my camera, because you know that the very first thought that any responsible parent has when they find that their boys have taped underwear to the storm door is, “OOOOO, I have tomorrow’s blog!”
My second thought was, “I wonder if these are as noticeable from the street as they are from the inside of the house?”
Let’s see….
I’m thinkin’ yes.
Yep. That’s definitely a “yes.” When you tape underwear to the front door, people can see them from the street. I’ve always wondered. Now I know.
I didn’t bother to ask the boys why they taped underwear to the door. After I captured my pictures I removed the briefs from the door, sniffed to determine their level of cleanliness, and had the boys put them away. It was the Boss who took the time to question General Mayhem after I showed her the incriminating photos.
“General Mayhem," she asked. “Why did you tape Major Havoc’s underwear to the door?”
Wait for it.
Here it comes.
“I don’t know.”
“You were walking through the house,” she asked. “And you just decided to tape his drawers to the front door?”
“No,” the General answered. “I found his underwear on the floor and I started to tease him with them. I told him that I was going to tape his underwear to the front door. And he said, ‘Okay!’.”
So, he did.
Bedlam, I tell you. It's pure Bedlam.
