I have written about garbage that didn’t make it to the can, shoes not in place, and kid bedrooms an ungodly mess. Not to mention, the toilet paper AND paper towel rolls have been left bare on their holders. This is usually to make a point to one of my kids, and it has worked.
But yesterday, my husband sent a text with a pic saying come on, this is getting old guys. He had settled in after work to do some paperwork at our family desk. A cup with a smidgen of the drink was left in the cup. It had been sitting there for a while. Each kid weighed in like they typically do, each uniquely stating, NOT ME! Excuses, excuses. My husband jokingly said, let me guess, it was John? As in John Chamberlin, the dude who gets blamed for crumbs, misplaced things and many other kid mistakes.
But, it was chocolate milk. The same chocolate milk he had from California Coffee that he slurped on our 9 a.m. call that we took at the desk. Oops. So, fair is fair. Dear John, clean up your chocolate milk ya jagoff!
