Grandparent Enhanced Enjoyment Zone Eradication Role

[Dallas]

My 3-year old twin grandsons used a broom to push the marshmallows from the top pantry shelf to the floor, where they began to eat them.

 

When I walked in, they held the bag up, so I sat down and started eating marshmallows too. They were the little multi-colored kind, which made them even more nutritious.

 

My neighbor says I should have scolded them. I told her that would have just meant less marshmallows for me, since they would have continued eating as I lectured. I also said I was impressed with their craftiness, adding, "They're like little McGyvers!".

 

She rolled her eyes. I thought that with a little makeup, she could have passed for Maleficent at that moment. The boys like her, but its obvious they know nothing of her dark side.

 

What should I do?

I like your attitude, but what do I know, I've never had kids.

You never know what you'll find in a kitchen cabinet.

I hope that's two cats in that pantry.

[Lowell Brandon]

Unless that's one really big cat occupying two shelves. LOL.

[Chez moi]

You got that right!

We polished the marshmallows off. Then we went to the store.

I held them up to the top shelf, where they discovered Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips.

Actually, I was just teasing. She's a nice lady, and I've known her a long time.

Yes, it is great to be able to send them back home, isn't it? I'm taking them back to Miami tomorrow. I bought them great stuff to take back. Thing One has a kazoo, and Thing Two has a tambourine. Their parents are going to just love it.

Over 40, I can't see why anyone is keeping these things up so high. Why risk your back every day?

[Mother Sanity (JackieRodzinski)]

You did it.
