Mini me, her step-dad and I are coming home from visiting my parents and grandparents on Christmas Day. It is raining and the temp is dropping and my mom calls me to see if we made it home ok. As I am talking to her about the ever-interesting day to day of Mini me, I tell her that Mini me is full of shit. From the backseat of the car, where I think Mini me is sleeping, I hear, "No, Mom, you're full of shit!" Then I hear her slap her hand over her mouth. My mom hears this and starts to giggle, as did my husband. I had to hand the phone to him and try to drive and laugh at the same time. When my hysterics were over, I told her if I heard that word again, she would get her mouth washed out with soap.

My youngest niece yesterday, at mom and dad's, sing-songing "I want some Peeps, I want some Peeps." Mom said "you're not asking, you're demanding!" Niece shrugged nonchalantly "I was just singing a song about Peeps."

Then I showed them what a Peep does in the microwave.

The towel rail in the downstairs bathroom was a bit loose, so I put some glue on it, which sets in about 5 minutes, but doesn't reach full strength for 24 hours, so I put a fairly big 'Do Not Touch' sign on it .

The next day Thor emerges from said bathroom..
"Daddy why is there a do not touch sign on the towel rail in the bathroom, cause I was going to touch it to see why, but then I thought I might get into big trouble and sent to bed or something, and I haven't had dinner yet so then I get sent to bed hungry, so I didn't"

This is a landmark moment, actions, consequences, forethought and restraint and he's only 9, maybe he might make it to 10.

Although I'm surprised he didn't say "beaten with a rusty stick until I'm bloody and half dead" or something. I mean, how many times has he actually been sent to bed without dinner? Someone's going to call the child protection peeps one day.

You should tell him he's lucky: there was a hidden camera and if he'd so much as lay a finger on that towel rack he wouldn't have eaten for a week.

You reminded me of a story a friend told once: his kids were bouncing on the beds and he told them to stop and one boy said "why?" and the other one sighed and jumped off and said "don't ask, he probably knows someone who died doing this."

Bravo Thor!

Beest, you're justifiably proud.
