That is what I kept thinking to myself as I walked into my son's room today and found 'the tragedy.'
It was actually a tragedy in 3 acts.
It was the kind of thing that when you are as dreadfully behind on everything in your house as I am - the scene I stumbled upon evoked a certain calm and at once hysterical yet frightening chuckle...
You are familiar, right?
The kid was mortified!
Act 1 - He had decided that he needed to take every stitch of clothing out of his closet, most of it off the hangers, and into a pile on the floor.
Act 2 involved swinging from the closet bar.
Act 3 - He was inspired by some of the Superman Garb in his closet and felt that he needed to clothe Superman in Superman attire... naturally...
I took a few moments, gathered my wits, returned with a camera, and proceeded to 'encourage' him to re-hang his clothes.
He was unmotivated by my repeated urging.
He then, in a final act of desperation, decided that our house needed a splash of color. In every room.
What better way to add color to a room than to walk in with armfuls of clothes and strew them about?
I was ecstatic!

I'm laughing with you, not at you. hehehehe
I think trying to get kids to clean up is the hardest job ever. . . next to getting them to stop crying.
I don't really have anything intelligent to say - I'm too busy laughing. Isn't it great that when our kids do anything - bad, good, funny, rebellious - our first thought is to get the camera. But if we didn't capture these things and get proof, our kids would never believe our stories one day.
That J cracks me up......
Isn't he precious? Those are his imagination skills developing! at least the closet clothes bar is still up - isn't it??? ;)
One Word: Taser
How funny! Did know you had a jungle gym in your closet did ya? I love the Superman thing. Very creative!
I'm on J's side on this one.
I am always on J's side except when he attacks me in my sleep;)
