Ear we go again

Yesterday’s corner time: 3 Minutes.

Dad had a frog in his throat yesterday, although I couldn’t see anything and I’m not quite sure how it got there. I assume that he was sitting watching TV with his mouth wide open as usual and that it hopped right in.

I guess he was lucky that it was only a frog and not something larger, such as small dog. However, I think that a dog would only have squeezed in if he were yawning at the time.

The dog would also have had to escape the clutches of Becca, animal lover extraordinaire. She has a tendency to first lure them into a false sense of security by gently stroking their head and patting their back before attempting to rip their ears off.

Becca seems to have a penchant for ears at the moment and unfortunately, not just those of the canine variety. She is also particularly partial to mine, which is quite upsetting.

It’s not that my ears are especially big because they’re not. Well, at least they weren’t before Becca started to tug on them at every available opportunity. I think this is revenge for when I used to treat her as horse. Yesterday, she actually lifted both her feet off the ground as she clung on.

Anyway, I had to put her in her place after that and that place was upside down in the dustbin.

i know that Becca is much too little still, but she encouraged Mathew and he is such a tiny thing and i remember how careful we want him to be with the little one but...but....poor Mathew...it wasn't really his fault...

hmmmmmmmmmm three years olds are precocious, they are learning their world, I have five kids, I didn't use a "naughty" corner, I didn't spank either, we just talked....it seemed to work great. I hope a lot of this is tongue in cheek......because your son will soon hate corners.....

I love this blog! I have a 3 year old myself and can so relate!! Even though she's a girl she can be so ornery at times. Thanks for the great laughs this morning.
