The End
I love this! My kids do the same thing and one at a time ask for things and I don't realize the whole picture until someone gets hurt or something is broken. I should start making lists.
ReplyDeleteohhh the suspense! I must find out what happens next...
ReplyDeleteHaha!! I love this post!!
ReplyDeleteUm board, brick, nails and you were ok with that. lol That is funny. FYI totally not judging. My kid would just go find those things himself & I'd be busy doing whatever it is I do all day. :)
