Tactical Error

[Bob Peale]

Thing 1 has been sitting on my lap for the last 20 minutes and has just eaten an entire box of Pepperidge Farm Decadent Collection Chocolate Collection cookies.

That equates to roughly his body weight in chocolate.

Something tells me that Mrs. Peale is about to kick my ass.

If I were my neighbors, I'd be very worried about any small animals or unsecured property I might have lying around. And I don't know if the family across the street trying to sell their house through an open house is going to be pleased with me by the end of the day.

Well, the doctor did say let him eat whatever he wants as long as he's eating...

Oh damn! Thing 2 just opened up the other box.

*wincing* I bet that five year old didn't expect to get tackled by a 30 pound 2 year old. That had to hurt.

Yes, but that much chocolate has crossed the line of Good Parenting through following Medical Advice to Suicide via a Loaded Spouse.



You poor, poor man, you run for Calgary. I'll tell her you're in Tijuana.

You can stay with me for a few days...

until it all blows over...

Hell, who needs Special Forces. I'm sending the Things to Afghanistan!

Give your wife a cookie.
She'll get over it.

Hormone override.

I may have to go to Bath Gel 3!

Anybody know exactly how to get a dishwasher door back on the hinges? The Things' vocal skills aren't up to task yet to explain to Daddy just how they did it...

It's interesting, isn't it, watching a 30 pound body go from "normal kid" (whatever that is for your 30 pound body[ies]) to "chocolate-fueled" 20-30 minutes after big-time chocolate ingestion.
She will kill you, Bob.
And she'll be right to kill you, too.
You know it.
However, three to four hours of serious wall-bouncing ought to straighten them right out (as long as you don't let them refuel).


I love your Thing asides.
I read every one.
They're the most straightforwardly humorous, happy, and wholesome posts ever made to the GB.

Well.... from wht I have just read about Thing 1 and Thing 2, there wont be any Cookies left for her when she gets home... and Hey if she is anything like NSW then he does want to leave for a wile as well...

Thank you Cym.

I'm afraid of only one - at least this time the egg split.

God wouldn't put all this in a single package, would she? *shudder*

Oh you sweet, naive man.

Leave? Do you really think she is going to let me leave after what I've done? The only way I'm leaving this house now is on a stretcher.

Damn it, I liked that screen door!

 

[Cheyenne]

Uh oh, anyone else worried that we haven't heard an update from Bob in more than an hour?

Did Thing 1 and Thing 2 take over the house?

 

[Cath!]

sweetie...this time it will be a girl...watch out!

 

[Bob Peale]

What perverse higher power would saddle a girl with The Ritilin Brothers as enforcers?

All is well. We let them loose on the back forty and they finally tired themselves out.

Of course, we have no more squirrels, but it's winter anyway...

you just wait...SHE will keep the others in line...

 

[Shylady]

Bob has to be a girl, cause God wants you to know just how those dads felt as you arrived to take out their darling girls

And Cath is right, the things will be her slaves

 

[PacificBlue]

I completely agree. She'd have all of you wrapped around her pinky finger.

 

[Bob Peale]

Not going to happen.

That's what convent school is for

Found this one, thought some of the newbies might like it

I cannot resist this quote, Bob
