With our 5, now 11 years old to 6 months, I usually do not see the humor. If my dear wife is upset, it will help me to see and remain calm. However, more often than not, I am most concerned with the imposition and demand on my time created by my children's deeds. Through blogs like yours and books like Notes from the Tilt a Whirl, I am beginning to see the laughter and hope that God helps me more to serve and laugh. Thanks for the story. Thanks for the story.

Every messy childhood story is bagging for laughter, if I can just handle being the butt of the joke, or maybe more appropriately put the maid in the joke. : ) Thanks for your story, I love to hear them!

She was lying sick in bed and was surprised when her sweet little toddler brought her a cup full of water. My aunt noticed that the water had a funny taste. Then suddenly she realized that the child had no way to reach the sink; she had filled the cup from the toilet. (Moral: Beware of lying down and closing your eyes with toddlers in the house, unless they are all asleep!) Reminds me of what happened to my aunt.

That reminded me of when my then 2-year-old basted the 1-year-old with Vaseline (wielding a tea set teaspoon) the day before Thanksgiving. Every square cm of that child was grease. I had to throw the clothes away and her hair didn't come clean for days. My then 7, 8 and 9 year olds were nowhere to be seen. When I called my husband to tell him of the disaster, he laughed and said the 2-year-old was just trying to help out by basting the turkey. Men definitely have a different--and helpful--perspective. I now wish I'd taken a picture but at that moment I was too upset. Oh, my.

The morning we were supposed to leave on holidays, they crept over their sleeping auntie, found a dozen eggs in the fridge and cracked the lot onto the floor of the only carpeted room in the house. Then must have come an attack of conscience because, by the time we'd woken up, they were busily trying to clean up by scrambling the lot with a mop and broom. They've just turned 13 and their 4 younger siblings wish they had as many 'stories'... At 2 years old, our twin boys had a fascination with eggs.
