His First Mistake...

...was not looking in the mirror or washing his face of the evidence. But he's 3, he'll learn.

It was an exhausting day and after I finally got a parcel in the mail and talked to Daddy in the afternoon before his night shift, I finally laid down for a rest.

The springing forward in time has meant that it's still light out when the boy goes to bed. I woke up after 6pm and thought it was odd the boy hadn't woken me up to say he was hungry.

Then I was greeted by this...



So I says to him, "What have you been eating?"

You can see the hamster running a mile a minute in his brain. He knows he's caught but he doesn't know how yet. So he runs to the table and shows me the goldfish crackers I had left out for snack.

"No. What's all over your face?"

He knows he's in trouble now and sheepishly tries to distract me with a board and his pretend saw.

"Hey, I said, what's all over your face?"

"I was eating frozen chocolate pudding!"

??????????

I open the fridge and find this:



The remnants of baking chocolate I had melted and dipped strawberries into a few cravings ago. Beside this was the container of chocolate pudding.

Better luck next time at hiding the evidence buddy!!
