Still Naughty After All These Years
The girls were hard at work last night.
Hmmm. I seem to have a Paul Simon theme going on here lately.
When June and Audrey were kittens, one of their favorite tricks was unrolling the toilet paper, shredding it, and leaving it draped around the room like a punk wedding gown train. I stored the toilet paper in the cupboard under the sink, which was not particularly convenient, but was more convenient than replacing the roll every day.
Getting the house ready for public viewing, I decided to put the toilet paper back on the roll. I figured that the girls were old enough now, at more than two years, to leave the toilet paper alone. They deceived me by leaving it alone for a few days, and then I woke up to the above this morning. Surprise!
But it’s hard to believe their super powers of super naughtiness when they look like Audrey does here:
While packing yesterday, I heard June playing with something clacky. It turned out to be a toy tiara, about an inch long:
I have no idea where it came from. Maybe whoever lived here before me had a well-accessorized Barbie. I wished I could put it on June’s head and take a picture. She’s a beauty queen if I ever saw one. But she’s also impatient with my nonsense, so she ran off, shaking her head at my silliness, to find trouble somewhere else.
