We were at the park and the baby was going to pee in her pants. Why is it that she waits to the last moment to tell me she has to go pee? I tell Rowan and Jory to get in the car so imagine my surprise surprise when the car is empty. They did not just go back to the park, I thought. It was on!
As the war began, I was derailed by a worker from the pool.
“Are these two yours?” she asked with Jory and Rowan right in front of her, complete with their swimming backpacks.
“Yes,” I answered as the two of them walked towards me. And as soon as they were in front of me, it started. “Why weren’t you in the car?”
“Rowan said, you said to go to the pool,” Jory answered.
Really, Jory decided to go with the Adam and Eve defense. Really?!? “Does that sound like something I would say?”
“No, but Rowan said- -“ he continued. He was going down with the ship that laid the blame solely at his younger sister’s feet.
“Rowan did you tell him that?”
“Yes,” she answered, her voice barely heard.
“Why would you tell him that?”
No answer.
Strangling them ran through my mind, but instead we left. The baby gleeful sat in her carseat. “Mommy, I was listening.”
“Layla, no talking. Do you two know what could have happened?”
“Someone could have taken us?” they said in unison.
“And I would have never seen you again.” UGH! What’s wrong with them? Where do they get crazy ideas from? Why must they be little sinners? I can’t even write about this. It’s when they began thinking thoughts that it all went down hill. And the “she gave me the apple” defense didn’t work for Adam, why did Jory think it was going to work for him?
