Children do the darndest things.
Here's a little background before I get too into the story. Michael Hanus and my son, Justin are best friends. They have been friends since they were two or three. They have this connection I've never seen with kids before, especially boys. The two became instant friends and remain close even though they don't spend as much time with each other as they did before they started school. Michael's mom, Brandy, and I became friends because of our boys.
Then came along Ashley and Chelsea and then about 6 months later, James was born. Their friendship began because Brandy and I would hang out with our kids. Justin would get invited over to Michael's house and then the jealousy started with not only Ashley and Chelsea, but with Daniel, as well. One day the girls came up with the idea they needed to spend the night, too. They told Brandy Justin didn't want to come over and they were going to come for him. So, we decided to let them spend the night one day. No, I wouldn't normally let boys and girls spend the night together. I know it sounds a little wierd. Brandy also has an older daughter named Megan. So, they all have sleepovers. It's not like the girls get to sleep in the bed with the boys. Not happening!
So, this week Ashley, Chelsea and James made plans during Mother's Day Out. They were going over to his house and spending the night. When Brandy went to pick up James, she discovered their plan. She asked if the girls could come over and I said, "yes." It worked for me.
During dinner Mrs. Brandy served chicken with macaroni and cheese and what else, I don't know. Ashley ate all her mac and cheese and wanted more. Mrs. Brandy told her she had to eat some chicken then she would give her some more. Mrs. Brandy went into the kitchen for a minute and she returned to the table only to find Ashley and James missing. She found them in the bathroom. She explained to James that he did not need to go in the bathroom with Ashley, for obvious reasons. He said, "she wasn't going to the bathroom, she was flushing the chicken down the toilet." That took care of the chicken. In her mind that was how she could have some more mac and cheese. Pretty clever, huh? Mrs. Brandy died laughing! She thought it was so funny. She couldn't turn her down for another serving. That's not what she would have done probably if it was her child, it was just so funny she couldn't really discipline her seriously.
I thought that was just too cute to not share.
