You know they say the older you are the wiser you are… I don’t doubt that is true to some extent. My kids sure have taught me a lot of things though. As I thought about it this morning while I was in the shower I realized “Wow, these little buggers are so much smarter then we give them credit for.” They always have the right thing to say when you are having a crappy day. They always make you laugh, even when you sick and feeling like shit. They always say the most UNappropriate things at the most UNappropriate times, making you look like a complete ass. But last night my almost 4 year old taught me a VERY good lesson…

NEVER “WRESTLE” WITH YOUR SPOUSE IN BED WITH THE DOOR OPEN.

You see, even with a quick check to make sure they were sleeping, that wasn’t enough. My toddler waddles through the house into my room. He wanted a drink. We didn’t see him so he proceeded to go back out of the room. He then goes and wakes my daughter up and says that “Daddy’s wrestling with mom” and she says “Alex, go to sleep”. He wanted a drink… So he proceeded to come back into our room and throw his cup on the floor to get our attention. (He tells me this story this morning). Hubby stops dead and sends him to his room telling him he’ll bring him a drink. He grabs a robe and brings Alex a cup of milk… PHEW… Lesson learned!!
