The Crumpled Kleenex

So I don’t usually try to take showers without somebody else here these days. The girls get into too much trouble. They have really been going at each other lately (and playing with each other too in turn), fighting over toys and space and, well, just anything.

Today, I needed a shower and there just wasn’t any other way about it. So I fed them lunch, cleaned them up, made sure the shutters were closed and the doors nailed shut. Surprisingly, they didn’t scream or argue or get hurt once! They dropped by the bathroom door now and then to yell “HIIIII!” and “uh-oh” as they dropped things over the bathroom gate.

I exited the bathroom to find… kleenex. LOTS of kleenex.

The first time Anna got into the kleenex, it was funny. The next time, it was still a little cute. Ever since, it has not been funny or cute. It has been a big mess! I grumbled and shook my head and told them “no” as I followed the trail of kleenex. What I found made me laugh.

All over our bed and the floor around the bed were kleenexes individually crumpled. They had been using kleenex just like mom and dad… why should they get in trouble for that!?

    Sometimes showers are worth whatever it takes 😉 Too bad there wasn’t a hidden camera catching their antics.

    Today your blog is running really slow. Maybe you’re doing work on it?
    Any who…
    Isn’t that so funny how sometimes you can’t help yourself and you have to laugh at what your kid(s) do? 🙂 tis nice really.
    That really is too funny. At least they were getting along! 😀 And you did get your shower! Two good things.
    I agree con tu mama- too bad there weren’t cameras taping their mischief.

  3. Thankfully d’Artagnan is still happy to sit in a bouncy seat on the bathroom floor while I race through the shower before he starts screaming because the animals on the seat terrified him.
    I’m sure this day will come for me as well..

    You didn’t have to shower to see me. I wouldn’t have made TOO many comments about how bad you smelled.

    Lol — maybe you should use toilet paper for kleenex instead like we do. 🙂 Or maybe they’d get into that too??? veddy cute.

    OK, this story totally cracks me up! Olivia has discovered wipes (twice when I haven’t been looking, she’s opened up the package and pulled them all out), and also toilet paper…. 🙂 I can just picture this happening at your house with Kleenex and it is so funny!!!
