Fact: Toddlers are the fastest criminals on the planet!
This morning, Big Sis appeared to be having some sort of strange allergic reaction. I was waiting for a call back from the pediatrician, and when the phone rang I answered it and hurried out into the garage. Because let's face it, it's basically impossible to have a coherent phone conversation in my house.
I was on the phone for maybe 5 minutes - maybe.
I walked back inside to discover that "someone" had given the dog a 5-pound smorgasbord of dog biscuits. 5 POUNDS! Okay, 5 pounds minus 2 cups, because that's what remained inside the 10lb value box of treats that had previously been half full.
There were treats strewn from the basement stairs, through the playroom, through the other half of the basement, up the stairs, down the hall, and culminating in a true canine pot of gold, the dog bowl, which was filled to overflowing. And there was a crazed beagle racing around collecting biscuits like a kid on an Easter egg hunt.
(This was one instance where I actually cleaned up the mess before reaching for my camera lest the dog become absolutely sick.)
I didn't have to look far to find the guilty parties.
Yep, that's them.
They're typically not hard to pick out of a lineup anyway, but "Beanie" there wasn't doing herself any favors.
There were plenty of alibis,
and an old fashioned snitch or two.
But "Beanie" was caught red handed.
We had a serious conversation -
"You can't feed Libby so many treats. It will make her sick."
Bubs: "No it won't. It will make her happeeeee!"
Lucky for toddlers, they aren't just fast criminals, they're pretty endearing ones as well.
