I've always thought Andrew was smart, but I had to reconsider that opinion the other day when I caught him on a shelf ready to jump off.
Me: Andrew what are you doing?!
Andrew: Nothing.
Me: Why are you standing on the shelf? And why did you tape a piece of yarn to the ceiling?
Andrew: I'm going to swing on it like a vine.
Me: Somehow that doesn't sound safe.
Andrew: Mom, it's fine. Don't worry.
Me: Do you know that a string of yarn held up by tape won't hold your body weight?
Andrew, re-thinking: What if I just pretend the string is holding me and then I jump onto the couch?
Me, re-thinking: Okay, go for it. Just hang on 'til I get my camera.
LOL!! That is hilarious! I hope he didn't teach jase this trick! hee hee. Luv ya

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the photo series. Dad told me this story and wants to put a non-yarn vine up in our bonus room for kids to swing on. thanks a lot andrew.
ReplyDelete"You could be swingin' on a yarn!" He's just trying to live up to his potential. What a great kid. Love the cold squash breakfast in bed.
