Real Life Consequences

If you choose to send an email that bashes the presidential candidate that I admire without checking the facts, you will get a response from me.



If I sit at the computer typing my response and supporting it with examples and research, then Josie will have some free time on her hands.



If Josie gets 100's of Halloween stickers from her Grandma in the mail AND has free time on her hands while her mom is distracted at the computer, there will be stickers haphazardly placed.



If the large picture windows in the living room are available and already sporting Halloween decorations, they will acquire some haphazardly placed Halloween stickers.





If you're still paying off the large picture windows and don't want to view Halloween stickers for the next few decades, you will spend almost an hour picking stickers off the windows.

If you love your daughter and think she's pretty clever, you'll sweetly tell her that stickers should ONLY be placed on paper.

If you realize that there's humor in the morning's events, you'll take the time to capture it on film and write a blog about it.

Life does have Natural Consequences.

I remember a couple of similar events a long, long time ago. It too involved "stickers" and our darling daughters legs. Luckily, the "stickers" were vinyl coated and removable, but we are still paying on those legs (aka college tuition). Not to be outdone by her older sister, our youngest darling daughter used a purple marker to make her artistic statement on her legs. We are still paying on those legs also (more college tuition) Luckily, the purple marker has since worn off!!

Oh the stories we can tell! I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world!!
