Diagnoses of Early Onset Alzheimer’s Averted: Lost Potatoes Found!
I had turned my face to our stove, set like flint, determined in my course. I was going to make hash-browns and nothing short of 100mph winds and a sideways rain of squealing lemmings was going to stop me. Or so I thought.
I’d carefully set the bag of potatoes upon the counter. All ready to go. And so imagine my surprise when I reached our mine hand for the spuds and found it empty. I looked everywhere in the kitchen, literally. No potatoes. So I zoomed over to where The Hunky Hubby and Sweet Boy #1 were working at camp.
Me: “Do you know where my potatoes are?”
Hunky Hubby: “On the counter by the stove.”
Me: “Not anymore.”
Hunky Hubby: “Ask Sweet Boy #1, maybe he moved them.”
Me: “Do you know where my potatoes are?”
Sweet Boy #1: With 6-year-old nonchalance while busily watering a tree with a garden hose: “Oh, they’re under your bed.”
Me: “Under my bed?” With gaping mouth and bewildered eyes.
Sweet Boy #1: “Yep, I tricked you.”
And they were. Mystery solved…apparently many more to come. When I have him figured out, I’ll let you all know.
yeah, I feel for you kristen…Im just dreading when my kids start playing tricks on me……you see *cough* I use to plot and plan for days before I would pull one over on my folks. *shudder*
Yikes, but yep that sure sounds like Sweet Boy#1. Not planning for days yet, but he sure gets the job done with his current level of forethought.
