Vandals

A special post for my friend Sarah who knows that my children don't write on the walls . . .

Today I tipped over our wobbly kitchen table to try to tighten the legs. I discovered the underside covered in marker vandalism! I was scolding Mary when her brother stalwartly "manned up" and confessed, "I'm sorry too, Mama. We've been sneaking under the table to draw on it."

This was one of those moments when I had to thank him very quickly for his confession and good apology so I could flee the room to laugh.

  1. Could it be that this graffiti might have been done by Sarah's children when they were here last year? :-) Just kidding.

  2. Maybe I should check under my tables too. My kids have never been ones to draw on the walls, but they do like to play under the table.....

  3. Oh wow. Hahahaha :)
    Thanks Chris, definitely blame my vandals if you like. :) I think it's a neighborhood pastime to blame me for all the mysterious marks anyway. :)
