If you, like me, are super-duper awesome and already saw the episode, bear with me on this brief recap. Anyway, between season 2 and 3 little Stan grew up. No longer a baby, now a young kid...a devil child. During the episode, Ellie struggles with little Stan and his behavior. They fear him. And it hits her, this is just the kind of kid he is. Maybe she has to accept he's going to grow to be a hell-raiser.
It made me think of lovely K. No, I don't truly think she's the spawn of Satan. But, kids come in all kinds, and maybe she's just the curious, creative, strong-willed, slightly defiant kind. It's very likely I will still be struggling with how to parent her antics when she's a teenager. Maybe she's just not gonna be an easy one.
The other night I walked into her room to see this on her dresser.
Not sure what you're looking at? Here's a close up.
"What the eff? How in the hell did she get chalk."
See, this is what the hallway outside of K's room looks like as of late. It's a staging area, if you will, for the toys that a responsible, trustworthy child should have in her room. But, as we are discovering more and more every week, that is not K. Somewhere in the row of toys is a basket of chalk, because as we know, K can't be trusted alone with chalk.
She's a smart one, that girl. Left with nothing in her room, she still finds creative ways to explore her mischievous side.
It's not K, it's the chalk. Everyone knows chalk is evil and will lead you down the path of temptation.
ReplyDeleteLesson from grade school when it squeaked agains the chalkboard and then we wrote naughty things when the teacher stepped out.
Thankfully, chalk cleans up easily. Far better than Sharpie.
