All the funny incidents seem to happen before 9:00. Jules is in bed resting and I'm trying to make banana muffins. Ben wants to play outside, so I say that he can play with his sidewalk chalk on the back porch. He's had a tendency to write all over the new screen, so I told him to write only on the concrete. After about 5 minutes, he came in the kitchen and said, "Dad, I'm staying on the concrete, but I did something wrong."
"What did you do, Ben?"
"I just have to write on everything."
I look out and notice huge pink "A's" on the screen. How can you be mad at a kid so truthful.
