sock-ings and skunking

"FI-INNN!", I hollered, upon entering his room. "What are all your socks doing on your mini-blinds", I asked in complete exasperation.

"I'm decorating my room with socks, just like you decorate the fireplace at Christmas" he explained.
Now how could I resist his attempts at decorating?
***************
"FI-INNN!", I hollered, once again.
"Why are you spraying me with your spray bottle?", I demanded.

"I'm skunking you", Finn happily replied, with his squirt bottle pointing out his tail end. "I'm just like the skunk on Curious George", he explained, quite pleased.
On the outside, I reprimand him, but inside I am snickering:) I really am sorry,though, if you've been skunked by Finn.

  5. oh, hahahaha... this is so funny. :) I just love the socks! There's a decorating idea I would never have thought of. hehe. And I have to say the skunking makes perfect sense... lol

    It's when they come up with things like this, that it's hard not to just bust out laughing in front of our children. :)

  12. oh man, our kids would get along great! My kids have been playing "skunk" for YEARS! I'm constantly caught in a store with them sticking their rear ends up as far as they can as they bend over as I gasp and hide them and insist they knock it off or else....and then they exclaim, "I was just playing skunk!" Oh, sorry, but PLEASE not in the store guys! Are you sure you can't come visit us???
