Kids sure can say the darnedest things. Yesterday morning in a Bethesda household, a mother and father awoke to an unusual request from their 3 year old son. The child was upset and frustrated that he could not put the top of the ice cream back on the container. Confused, the father walked downstairs to find the toddler had opened the freezer and eaten the entire tub of ice cream all before 7AM. Unfortunately, the child (who has chosen to go by the name Thomas) could not successfully implement the exit strategy he drew up with his 6 month old brother the night before. Thomas faces a maximum sentence of 2 hours of gardening work with his parents.
Damn, kids certainly grow up fast these days. Back in my day, it would have taken me five or six years before I felt confident to breach my freezer for desserts prior to sunrise. But that's the age of technology we live in. I'm sure he google'd 'how to eat ice cream now' and was directed to a blog, designed by a 7 year old, on how to storm the kitchen before parents know what the hell is going on. Then looked at the blueprints of his house in the archives on longandfoster.com. Because that's the type of keen eye for detail demanded by preschools today. You don't just draw a duck blue because you've never seen a blue duck before, you do it because you're anticipating the day Gargamel uses his sorcery to turn all of the Smurfs into ducks!
