Stories from the couch


Logic is not always abundant in this house.

Tonight at dinner, Kate asked why Sean had a purple band-aid on his foot. The honest response - Declan bit his finger.

The only explanation I can provide to substantiate the logic - Sean is two.

Right before dinner, Sean started screaming (not that unusual). Declan emerged from beside the couch looking guilty. When we asked Sean why he was crying, he indicated Declan bit his finger. When Declan was asked why he bit Sean's finger, he explained Sean's finger was in his mouth. Sean has no explanation why his finger was in Declan mouth but did demand a band-aid for his foot. To calm the masses, and allow us sufficient space to prepare dinner, Jim pasted a band-aid to the top of Sean's foot.

All normal activity resumed immediately. So, the logic when you have a two year old - don't question too often why something needs to be done. If you both win, just do it. Band-aids fix everything, just buy lots of them
