good news / bad news

We bought new sheets for our anniversary
this year.
You know -our 22nd -
the one that we celebrated
just 12 days ago
~
I was so happy to have nice new sheets
with no kid-induced rips or stains.
I even listed it in my gratitude journal.
the good news
is
the child
is
still
alive
~
sheesh
~
(and I guess more good news is a non-guilty child felt
and expressed empathy,
"I didn't cut your sheets, but I am sorry it happened")

  1. that child will NEVER NEVER live it down. I know this from experience.
    Anyways, I didn't cut your sheets either, but I'm sorry, too.
    love you

  2. I can relate...
    Nathan had finished sewing a duvet cover - with expensive material - for the guest room. While he was mending another item, he heard Adrienne say, "Oh, this is hard. Oh, this is hard." He looked and saw her snipping away at random places on the new cover...
    Tell me, why do scissors have to be so sharp??
