That's What I say about the Chocolates

Yesterday I kept finding crumpled sucker wrapers and sloppy sucker sticks all over the house.  Like literally ALL OVER. 

I was confused.  Where are they getting these from?  Hadn't they been moved?  Didn't Mr. Handsome just relocate a bag of suckers (that--I must add--I did not purchase, they were left over from a bridal shower decoration last summer) so that the kids couldn't get into them anymore.  Obviously, they were still getting into them.

I followed a literal trail of sucker wrappers til I found this kid, sucker in mouth, and confronted her, "What the heck, baby girl!  Where are you getting these things?"

She immediatley looked frustrated, even angry, brows pinched together, pointed above her head, then blurted out, "Mama!  They're just not up high enough!

 (see that Walmart bag?  If I was better at de-junking, you know that bag full o sticky sweets would be in the trash by now. For now it is re-hidden, outta sight!)

she is so cute and thus cannot be blamed for knowing the suckers' whereabouts. :)

How odd, we adults think we can hide things from kids by putting them below our eye levels and they still always find them, so how is it that when you put stuff way above their and our eye levels, they still find them?

Hi Becky, I saw you on another blog I found through nienie-I knew you in high school for awhile, you were lovely to me during a difficult time with my parent's divorce. Fantastic that you are enjoying motherhood. Cheerful attitudes can impact many people around the globe! I live with my family in England and so I did find happiness eventually ;-)
