I saw them on the floor; tiny white streaks. Others were blue. I found teeny piles and little scuffs on the carpet on on my tile. I could NOT figure it out. But I vacuumed them up or picked them up. They were waxy. I never thought twice.
My son is a cub scout. He needs to earn badges and do all SORTS of manly, creative, out-doorsy survival stuff. I love that. I love playin' in the woods, checking out bugs (not bees though DEFINITELY not BEES) and camping...lalala. We have the Pine Wood Derby coming up. You should see his little car. AWESOME! And he really DID do it himself. It even has a driver; Herbie. Well, this isn't about Herbie. I'll get to him after the competition this weekend.
This is about one of his NEW talents. You see, he got a penknife; a handy dandy little pocket knife containing a file, three blades and a teensy pair of scissors. We gave stern and explicit instructions:
Do NOT cut your sister's hair.
Do NOT cut Winston's hair.
Do NOT cut YOUR hair.
If it's hair do not cut it.
Do NOT leave your fingers in the path of the blade as you close your knife (I have the scars for THAT valuable lesson myself...I was whittling a Lincoln Log and had to close up real quick since I wasn't supposed to be playing with knives...oops...call me Lefty)
Do NOT stab anyone or PRETEND to stab anyone: You are NOT a Power Ranger, Pirate of the Carribean (or any Sea; real or imaginary), a ninja, or Survivor Man
Well, I missed something in my list o stuff.
Anyone know what those mystery piles were? I'll tell you.
I was running late and had to hop in the shower. I popped in to discover we were out of????
SOAP! I got back out and looked but WE HAD NONE
My little precious lovable smiling Gipetto had hacked up ALL MY FRIGGIN SOAP WITH HIS NEW PEN KNIFE!!!!!
Now I'm wet, late and streaking around my house trying to find something to wash with. I checked all the bathrooms. Nope. He had beat me to it. But for my viewing pleasure, I found a miniature truck, bear, boat, car, rocket, frog, bird, and a house...alllll made out full size bath bars. I had not one intact. I washed with Herbal Essence shampoo and have secretly stashed what I purchased (later in the day)in my lingerie drawer (although I do confess, it smells LOVELY).
He better get that carving badge soon. I can't WAIT to sew it on....
Happy whittling~Thanks for popping by.
