With our warmer weather over the past few days, I have been able to break out some different clothes for the kids. Kaitlynn has this really cute purple striped dress that ties around the back that makes it look like a baby-doll dress with matching leggings. It is really cute.
Or should I say WAS really cute. I let Kaitlynn wear it to school the other day. She loves the ties on the back of the dress that she consistently unties the stings and plays with them. While on the playground the other day she thought she would cause a little excitement by tying her dress to the swing she was on. Only to discover she tied it too tight and when it was time to go back inside she was stuck to the swing.
As I am sure she panicked and kept pulling all she did was make the knot tighter. The teachers tried to no avail to untie it that they finally had to concede and cut the strings to get her loose.
When she walked in the door from the neighbors house after school, Kaitlynn looks at me and says, "Mommy, I am really sorry but you are going to be SOOO SOOO mad at me."
Not really sure how to respond I ask the scary open-ended question, "WHY!"
She tells me in her own way what happened in the school yard and the story matched with what the teacher wrote in her agenda. So I can't fault her for lying but she just shrugged her shoulders as to why she did it. A little frustrated I asked her to turn the big light on in the living room so I could inspect the back of the dress.
As I inspected, I can do one of two things.......cut the strings off completely and you would never know or shorten the stings and I think it could still tie and look ok....just not as nice as when I bought it.
When I explained the choices to her she kind of had this blank stare and finally asked me, "Can you use your hot glue gun and glue it back together??"
Again............My children win as I am speechless and was not prepared for the creativity of that question.
After, I regained my composure as I was laughing on the inside I just simply told her that, that was not a possibility and I would have to think about what I was going to do.
I hate it when they do that to me. I just was thankful that Phil was not home at the time as I would have lost control of the room at that point. There are some days even though he should Phil can not control his laughter from the innocent yet absurd questions the kids ask.
TTFN~
