Sons #3 and 4 just got over strep throat. So you know what's next. This morning, Son #2 woke up with a sore throat. And this is what he said, about it:
"You need to tell them to stop leaving their cups out. Because I drank one of their drinks, and now I'm sick."
Now, PLEASE. As the person who gets stuck doing the dishes almost every single time, I have definitely told EVERYONE in the house, repeatedly ad nauseum, to put their dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Last thing I need is some teenager telling me that I need to nag his brothers for something I am already nagging everyone about, BECAUSE I HATE TO NAG.
But, um, what made the Arbiter of Effective Parenting decide that drinking someone else's abandoned beverage was a good idea? Especially when he knew that 2 members of his household had communicable diseases?
Yup. Son #2 has a sore throat that happened to him because I didn't nag his brothers. NOT because he drank some unidentified substance.

How could it possibly have been his fault when it's just so much easier to blame you?
I joined MyBlogLog from the link on your site - I'm not really sure what it means but I'm excited!
Yes, that is the way I feel about MyBlogLog, too. Silly, I know.
