What a day! Ander ran in the house today and told me that "GUNNAR PEED ON THE SLIDE!" Dumbfounded, I ran outside, just to see Gunnar running away and hiding from me. I sent him in the house, got the details from a mom on the playground, and went home to get the details from Gunnar. Our conversation went like this...
Me to Gunnar: "What happened?"
Gunnar: "Ander did it too!"
Me to Ander: "Did you pee on the slide too?" (insert Angry eyes)
Ander: "NO!"
Me: "Ander, I can tell you are lying. Did you pee on the slide?"
Ander: "No..."
Me: "ANDER...." (insert raised voice)
Ander: "I just peed in the stairwell"
Me: "Blah blah blah, GO TO YOUR ROOM!" (no need to insert the whole conversation, just think wild, crazy banshee)
I cooled off for a few minutes then tell the boys they lose two days of outside time, and sent both boys outside with clorox wipes. While walking to the slide, Gunnar insists that Ander peed on the slide too. (Ander was at the stair well "cleaning up his mess.") After a minute Ander came back, saying there was nothing to clean up.
Me to Ander: "Did you pee in the stairwell?"
Ander: "No..."
Me to Ander: "Ander, did you pee on the slide?"
Ander (with side glance at my friend): "Well she didn't see me."
Me: "Ander, Heavenly Father saw you. Did you pee on the slide?"
Ander (with big sigh): "Yeeees."
Me: "Ander you lose THREE days of outside priveledges. One day for lying to me."
After this I thought awful thoughts of how I can ruin their lives for the next 15 years, and make them regret they ever pulled their pants down outside. But I have cooled off since, and I don't think I will do that. They are unbelievably cute, and sweet and adorable (evidence above, minus Ander, but he's cute too). I will just make them work their little tooshes off for the next few days. And of course, immortalize the story by blogging it for the entire world to read, also for future malicious blackmailing purposes... (insert evil laugh)

You're going to have to become a writer. This is pretty cute. You will make it through this. They may stop doing this by the time they are 15 or 16 years old. We hope. Hang in there!!!!!!
haha. I laughed so hard at this story. Although I know as a mother it was not funny while it was happening. Sorry. By the way, I can't see you REALLY doing the evil laugh.
