on November 30th, Midget, Daddy & I fill the little doors with our favorite candies. This year there are 2 york peppermint patties and one Reece's peanut butter cup mini behind each of the doors. Every evening from December 1st to Christmas we open one door a night and have a little treat.
This afternoon the midget was left unattended in the living room while I prepared lunch. When I came out to check on her I noticed she was covered in chocolate and chewing something. I asked what was in her mouth and was told "I don't know"
I then notice that the door for the 16th was open. We're only on the 13th, so I go to the calendar and check the 16th and as I suspected it was EMPTY.
The culprit- one three year old covered in chocolate.
I took the candies from the 13th door and shifted them to the 16th. I also removed the candies from the 14th and put them away.
There will be no opening of doors on this night or tomorrow.
I explained why I was angry. My upset has nothing to do with the fact that she had a piece of candy she was not supposed to have- I get that she is excited and it is too tempting not to touch, but she lied to mommy and that makes me upset.
her response:
"Does a hug make the mad go away? Ya know, if I give you a hug it will be all better"
Talk about quickly making one well meaning adult trying to teach a lesson feel about 2 feet tall.
Until next time...
