When the kids came home from school, I asked them as I usually do, how their day was. Alisia went into great detail, as she usually does, to tell me how her day was. While Caleb doesn't usually go into detail like Alisia, he does usually share something. This time all I got was "it was good."
At dinner time, it came out. Caleb casually said, "I think I had to flip my card today (got in trouble for something).
Oh really? I asked. What happened?
"I'm not sure." He shrugged.
Your not sure why you got in trouble?
"Not really..." he said shaking his head.
"Well, what do you think you got in trouble for?" I prodded.
He just shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
"One time I got in trouble in kindergarten."
His eyes lit up. "What did you do?"
"Someone dared me to put ketchup in a girls hair, and I did, even though she was my friend. She cried and I felt really bad." (yes I DID that!)
"I got in trouble once too," said Alisia. "We were supposed to be taking a nap and I saw a crayon on the floor and I scribbled all over the desk. The teacher walked over and I pretended to be asleep. She told me I would have to scrub it off after school. I felt really bad"
My mouth dropped open when I heard Alisia's confession! She's never told me her side of the story! Then Caleb said, "I think I hit **(his friend) by an accident in his face. I felt really bad too because it was an accident."
OH great! At least we all got that off our conscious!

Oh boy!
All some pretty interesting confessions...
I remember getting into trouble one time in elementary because i said the "s" word. It wasn't my fault!
My dad cussed worse than a sailor! Every other word was either the "s" word or the dreaded "f" word!!!
I'll never forget the look on my teacher's face when she heard what i said. I was only in second grade. GASP!
Needless to say, we were a family without Christ! :)
Awww Brooke, you are such a good Mommy!

Your children are so precious! I'm enjoying your tales of humor! :)
