Lesson Learned

Have you ever noticed how often children teach us little "life lessons?"  It seems that my kids are always teaching me important little things. 

For example, last night, I learned that it is not very smart to leave Lacie and Megan alone to finish their soup while I run upstairs to print something for a meeting.  When I came back downstairs, Lacie was dripping in soup up to her elbows.  (She had poured her water in the bowl, and was "washing" her arms.)

Thanks, Lacie.  Now I know, and I won't make that mistake again.

And later that night, Megan taught me that I should never leave my earrings in the girls' bathroom.  I found one earring in her bed, and she confessed that the other fell in the toilet--and she flushed it (presumably to destroy the evidence).

Thanks, Megan.  I'll be more careful next time.
