First thing Scout said to me this morning was, “I am going to put a banana peel on Daddy’s floor and make him slip.” I told him he could if he ate the banana first, and he jumped up, headed into the kitchen and gobbled away. Three minutes later he came back in, and Daddy asked him where he had gone. He said, “I just ate up a ‘beenana’ and then I threw the peel in the trash.” (His poker face isn’t so good.) Then he said, “dad — don’t you want to get up and go potty?” A few minutes later, Micah finally got up, and headed into the bathroom. With a small hint from me, he went in and took a really big slip. Scout was rolling! I’m so bummed I didn’t get the picture for a minute, because Scout’s reaction was perfect. Then he came back in as proud as can be and said, “That is my only joke today.”

Scout has become quite the jokester lately. Just yesterday I went in to get Icka her diaper. I came back with three envelopes full and one stack of cash. I put them behind my back and asked my mom if she had forgotten about an old hiding place. She said, “Probably….why, what did you find?” When I pulled the loot from behind my back, she said, “NO…that’s from my purse!” We then looked directly at Scout. He knew that he was going to be in trouble based on my mom’s reaction, so he blamed Icka. Then after a while he fessed up with, “Well, Icka held some and I held some, and we just hided them in the diapers.” We were cracking up at how innocent it all was, but how bad it could have been!
