Scene:  Yesterday morning, Grant and I were about to walk out the door to head for school.  We notice it is drizzling and a bit chilly.

Me: “Grant, run and grab your jacket, it’s kind of cold.”
Grant: “I’ll be OK Mom.”
Me: “It’s wet. Grab your jacket.”
Grant: “I can’t….”
Me: “What do you mean ‘You can’t’…?  Go grab your jacket.”
Grant: “There’s a knot in it.”
Me: “A knot…?(stumped, thinking there aren’t any ties or buckles, etc on his jacket.) What do you mean a knot?  Go get it please.”

He brings me the jacket.
….Oh.

Yep… that’s the sleeve.  Tied in a knot.  TGIF.

It was actually in a double knot and we were almost late to school.
I don’t even want to know.

    Kids! If only we could channel all that crazy kinetic energy into a fuel source — we could power the world for centuries! 😉

    One of the things I really love about reading the blogs is people talking about the things their kids do. I had to chuckle at your son. I had two boys but the youngest one was the most ornery and did things I can only imagine how he did them let alone thinking them up. We used to call him the tasmanian devil. Anyway he did things like that alot. If he even still had his jacket. Never a dull moment with kids. It’s so great to remember all the wonderful, funny things they do. Enjoy Mom and keep your sense of humor.
