Crime and Punishment
The baby was so sleepy this afternoon, but he couldn't sleep. His nap schedule was thrown off by the noisy work of our piano technician. He really needed a nap but was fighting it, so I was really relieved when he finally stopped making noises. At long last, a resting child!
As I was resting myself, I heard a small fuss. The baby is probably ok, no need to rush up there, I told myself and returned to my screen surfing. AM puttered past. "Don't go up there, please!" "Ok." More feeble crying from the baby. "He's ok," I say to myself.
Clump, clump. Someone is going upstairs!
By the time I get up to the foot of the stairs, I'm really upset. I see AM with her hand on the bedroom door.
"Did you go into the baby's room?"
"....Nooo..."
"Yes you did! I saw you coming out! You are lying. Nose in the corner."
After a sufficient time in the corner I sit her down to talk. I give her the standard "Don't lie to me" talk and she confesses.
"Why did you go in there after I asked you not to!"
"Andoo was cryin'! I wanted to give him a toy."
I felt two inches tall at that point.
