My son, who will turn 3 in January, drove his first "car" on Friday. He took four of his friends for a joy-ride in the babysitter's van. Hmmmm...if this is what he's doing before he's 3, I'm terrified of what he'll do when he becomes a teenager. Apparently, the babysitter was trying to load the children (there were 5) into her van. Because the weather was so bitterly cold on Friday, she decided to turn the van on and let it run. I'm not sure how everything went down, but I do know that the sitter was trying to strap in one of the younger boys (about 1 1/2 years old). While she was doing that, Peanut jumped up in the driver's seat and pretended to drive (he does this all of the time no matter what you do). In the process of "driving" the van, he slipped the van into 'drive.' He then proceeded for a couple of feet and drove through a chain link fence/gate and into the babysitter's backyard. Luckily, no one was injured and the van only has a vertical dent that is a perfect impression of the 2 inch wide metal pole that was part of the fence/gate. The gate had the most damage, but nothing that wasn't easily fixed. The babysitter didn't tell me this (she told me no one and nothing got hurt), Peanut did. I have to admit that I thought that this was funny when I heard about it (right after I confirmed that everything and everyone was alright). I did not laugh, but I really wanted to.
On Thursday, Peanut and I had run some errands and on the way home I asked him what he wanted for dinner...tuna fish or sloppy joes. He replied that he wanted tacos. I tried to explain to him that I did not have any money on me to pay for tacos (from Taco Bell which is where he loves to eat). As we continued the drive home, we drove by a Taco Bell. When I had driven by it, he said, "Momma! I said I want tacos from there!" I once again tried to explain why we couldn't have tacos. His reply..."But Momma!! That's what I wanted! Momma...I am so disappointed in you." I was able to hide my giggles this time also.
Well, before I fall asleep, I need to be off.
Until next time...
