I think anyone who has been following me any amount of time
will know I have 2 rather beautiful if not rather cheeky children. I also think
out of these two children you, my fellow reader, can guess exactly which
beautiful, cheeky child this post is about…
Yes, this one:
I, (very foolishly) relaxed myself before bedtime one
evening recently allowing the children to play nicely together before PJ time.
Usually they just chase each other a bit, Little Miss will do some drawing
while occasionally having to get up and ‘rescue’ Little Man from the toy box he
climbs into. Sometimes Little Miss likes to dress up and go off into her
imaginary world and this can sometimes mean
borrowing a few of Mummy’s items- you know the handbag (which usually I empty
first) which she’ll fill up with fake coins and stuff it to the brim with small
toys.
This time however I made the fatal error of not paying any
attention to the removal of my most important handbag items, the main one being
my purse. By the time I had finished playing about on my iPhone and listening
to the Charlie and Lola theme tune play repeatedly the contents of my bag were
strewn across the floor and the bag was stuffed as above.
I located all my belongings, told myself off for not paying
any attention to what they were playing with and scooped up my purse without
even thinking to look.
11.00am the next day I decided to venture out with Little
Miss leaving Little Man with Daddy. I had nothing spectacular planned, just
pick some bits up from Tesco so Little Miss and I could make our rather new and
yummy vanilla and roasted hazelnut cupcakes. Unfortunately when I reached the
checkout (you know where this is going right) I couldn’t pay for a thing! No
cash, no debit card, no credit cards nothing.
Not to mention my gas card which seemed to be a miss too? Of course I knew
exactly what had happened or rather WHO had happened to them but where were my
cards now? How will an 18 month old tell me where my cards are?
We left rather red faced after holding up a queue but
thankful it was a few bits and not my usual weekly shop! Once home it was a
mission to find all my most essential cards. I pulled up rugs, turfed out the
toy box and lifted the sofa, laundry bin, even checked inside the washing
machine! I double and triple checked my handbag and purse (in case I was going
mad- wishful thinking) but I simply could not find my cards!
Where were they? I’ll tell you where they were. My two
beautiful, cheeky children were upstairs fast asleep and I was settling down
for the night reserved to the fact I may never find my cards again when I
noticed my TV was wonky- pet hate number 1 right there. I got up to straighten
said TV and low and behold what do I find pushed right under but now peeking
slightly out from under the TV stand? Yes, all 3 of my most needed cards!
I now hang my handbag up and have given Little Miss one of
my older ones so I never have to go through that again!
What have your little ones done recently to embarrass you?
When was the last time they sent you running around in circles looking for
something important?
