He didn't learn that from me

Another story from Michigan relayed by Paige...

Grandma had the task of loading all four kids into the van to go over to Lindsey's house. She brought Levi and Noah out first, and instructed them to go back to their seats, and under no circumstances to play in the van. Then she went back inside to get Luke.

Hmmmmm, take a wild guess at what the two little angels did not do...

Grandma arrives back at the van with Luke to find two little boys bouncing around the front seats of the van. The rearview mirror has been removed from its rightful position on the front windshield.

It sounds like Grandma really laid into them (good job G!) She severely chastised them, told them they had disobeyed her. Apparently it was quite the scolding. Grandma even invoked the name of their father... "Your dad will be very angry when he finds out you broke the van. What will your dad say about you breaking the van?"

Says Noah... "You should have been watching the kids!"

Way to step up and take responsibility for your actions kid! Sheesh. It couldn't be their fault... Grandma should have been watching them closer.

When Grandma relayed the story, Paige's sisters made comments about that must be what I say when I get home after work to the federal disaster area known as our playroom. I have no recollection of saying such a thing, none at all. I can't imagine where the kid learned it from... ;]
