Snippet - Little white lies and howlers

When toddlers first begin to lie it can be rather endearing to some “indulgent parents.” Other parents, indulgent or otherwise, sometimes have to wait a little longer for such skills to emerge, however wobbly.

It’s the sincerity that floors me:-

“It wasn’t me,………… it was a herd of “Wildebeest.”

I am a Snapdragon - this is “fun.”

“Mischief is your middle name, but your first is friend. You are quite the prankster that loves to make other people laugh.”

I am a
Snapdragon


What Flower
Are You?

I only cheated on one answer because I never phone anybody under any circumstances.

Handy hint of the day = how to avoid repetitive strain injury

Should ever manage to escape from your home for a nano second, make sure that you lock away your digital camera prior to departure.

Failure to note this precautionary measure, means that you will have to waste an additional precious 20 minutes deleting hundreds of shots of primary colours from the chip or card, inducing some serious thumb ache.

Should you happen to find a portrait of a person rather than a primary colour…………

perhaps you should stop moaning for a minute?

    Great photo!!!

    It’s always the sincerity that will get you.

    Sure hope your “acne” is doing well.

    And I am a Snapdragon as well..

    Love

    Kid’s lies…they get really convincing and I’m almost tempted to believe them.

    But then the waterboarding never fails to uncover the truth as to who broke the cookie jar lid. ;D

  3. lime:

    those darned wildebeests? they’ll getcha every time!

    apparently i am a snapdragon as well (took this one some time ago)

    and it was great fun to read what you did with the pilfered meme. ;)

  4. Michelle O'Neil:

    Nice jugs, lady.

  5. tlchang:

    Oh it’s the wildebeasts, is it? (My husband locked me out of the house today when I was out back picking zucchini. When I pounded on the door and growled at him he feigned complete innocense - despite him being the *only* other one in the house. Even the dog was out with me. It must have been the wildebeasts).

  6. tlchang:

    er - that would be spelled innocence…

  7. AndreaS:

    My guy usually tries to blame Pokemon :-) Piplup is quite the little mischief maker! Excellent pic and apparently, I’m a daisy, which is interesting to me because that was what I chose for my bouquet when I got married.

  8. buffalodickdy:

    A daffodil? I wonder what I’ll be tomorrow?

  9. melody:

    Michelle stole my “nice jugs” comment. Tell the kids they captured a perfect mom portrait, and I love their artwork in the background.

    Off to find out which blooming thing I am.

  10. melody:

    I am Echinacea. It’s true.

  11. Emily:

    Have exactly the same camera issues around here. Many many pictures of a tiny monster truck posed next to what appears to be every single item in our house.

    I’m also a snapdragon, apparently. That’s fine because I kinda like snapdragons.

  12. Jocelyn:

    You are always so immensely charming.

    Please, one day, when you consider tire of your lovely goldfish avatar, would you use the three-milk jug photo as your new one? PLEASE?

  13. Jocelyn:

    Oh, and I’m a Canna:

    “You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets in the way of what other people think. You are proud of yourself and your accomplishments and you enjoy letting people know that.”

  14. Shelia:

    That’s a helluva lot of milk!

    I’m a sunflower! Who knew!
