Landscaping is fun
when you have “help” in the form
of a 4 year old
“THIS rock looks like a
small mummy in a peanut!”
Heh ~ Alrighty then!
“And THIS one looks like
an ant took a bite of it.”
“Um, sure. If by ant…
…you mean colossal
crustacean, capable of
fracturing your bones.”
“Mommy, I felt a
TEENY, eency, weency bite
on my little toe.
Do you think it could
have been that orange
spider that we killed?”
*checking cell’s voicemail*
*holding cloth on ‘wound’*~”Mom! Who
ya callin, the doc?”
*and that is only what I remembered to write down~ let’s just say that it was a very entertaining morning.*

Where have you been, girlie? I’ve had spider bites. They are NO fun. Is she okay?
For the record, yes…she is/was ok.
I brought her in, got her washed up, and assessed the situation. No bite mark or swelling to speak of. We did put shoes and socks on, though.
we have had more than one faux bite – sometimes they are the worst!
Close call…..glad you didn’t have to deal with a spider bite, that would have been painful for her.
I remember how freaked out my Mom was one time when my sister got bit by a scorpion!
Hehehehe, so very cute and nicely haiku’d. Hope she is OK.
Wow, I’m impressed. Such a good telling of the day and in counted syllables, too!
The dead tiny orange spider attack– funny that she thought you’d be calling the doctor about it.
We have the ants biting us a lot, teeny weeny little bites and the itching for a couple years after.
I hope you accomplished all you had planned to in the yard?
Don’t you just love it when your kids want to “help”? I try to let them help me as much as possible, but some things I just wait to do until they are napping.
I guess one day my two-year old will stop napping… I don’t know what I’ll do then!
