A List for Tuesday

Five Things Dutch Did Yesterday That Were Cute Before They Became Annoying

1. He realized that the sound his hand makes hitting the hardwood floor is different from the sound it makes hitting the rug. He proceeded to crawl back and forth smacking his hand down. Bo, annoyed, went and sat on the rug, stopping any further sound investigations.
2. Next he discovered the metal bowl that holds my keys. These were incredibly fun to slam around, especially slamming the keys into the bowl. He liked that sound best.
3. When he lost interest in that he began trying to "unlock" the door with my keys by rubbing them against the door or hitting them into it. After several attempts did not open the door he banged on the door and yelled. A completely appropriate response when your keys don't work.
4. When the door stubbornly wouldn't open he moved his attention to the hinges on the door. These made a fantastic sound when slammed into with the keys.
5. Lastly, he decided to see what sound the keys made when slammed against Bo. Poor dog began to cringe at the sound of jingling keys. He never knew when they would be slammed into his face. Dutch, realizing he was scaring Bo, tried to make it up to him by feeding the dog my keys. Bo was a good boy and did not eat them.

And that was how Dutch spent half an hour of his day. Was yours as productive?

No mine was not nearly as productive - although I had a great breakfast!!!

I'm highly offended. You spent the day with your mother, we went grocery shopping at Walmart - with all the kids and a grandfather and then had the Carpenters for dinner. We had a very highly productive day - it just took the whole day to do as much as Dutch did in 1/2 an hour!
