Family Natters

Yesterday Tom offered to help me unpack the shopping. I should have smelled a rat straight away, but it wasn’t until I started finding used lolly sticks all over the house, that I realised he’d had an ulterior motive. This is a list of the places I’ve found them so far:

• on the wash basin

• in his trouser pocket

• stuck to the sofa cushion (then on my bum of course)

• behind the sofa (yes, I thought you’d be surprised I found that one given my cleaning habits)

In hindsight he probably went a bit crazy at having the unaccustomed access (usually I hide them then dish them out one by one). I’ll have to be a responsible parent though and talk to him about healthy eating. I’ll tell him for his own good we’ll go back to me being in charge of them.

Have your kids ever done anything similar?
