Sometimes you see something that you want, but you're not sure how to get it.
But then, just like those monkeys on the educational TV channel who use sticks to dig ants out of an ant hill, you figure out how to use the tools at your disposal to reach your goal.
Goal: Firefighter action figure that's stuck up on the kitchen counter.
Tools: Small ottoman that belongs in the living room instead of the kitchen.
Results: Mean old Mom rounded the corner and said in a stern voice, "Get down from there right now!"
This wasn't the first time Biscuit went climbing. Last week, he dragged a kitchen chair over to the same counter to get a boat for the bathtub.
Biscuit was perched up on the chair stretched across the counter when Jeff busted him.
"No sir, down!" Jeff said as Biscuit's head whipped around. "Move that chair back to where it came from."
"O-o-o-okay, Dad," Biscuit said, clearly disappointed that he got caught.
Not disappointed he did it. Disappointed he got caught!
I remember the days when I could put Biscuit down on a blanket in the living room, walk into the kitchen to get some water, return to the living room and find Biscuit right where I left him.
Those days are long gone. Give me strength!
