At this time of year, many children are desperately trying to atone for 11 months of misdemeanors. A simple reminder that Christmas Eve is approaching seems to jolt Emi into rethinking her behavior more than a splash of cold water would. On the other hand, Annie is trying to squeeze 11 months of misdeeds into the space between now and December 24th. This afternoon will mark her third after-school detention this year.Maybe I can use that extra time until I leave to pick up Annie to re-roll the miles of toilet paper snaking through the house, vacuum up the pancake mix liberally sprinkled around the kitchen, clean the hardened toothpaste she squeezed to decorate the inside of a drawer and steam-clean the nice patch of Desitin she worked into her shag carpet....
....And when Ryan comes home tonight, we will review with Annie the list of things she is not to do, with a new one added to the recitation: No kicking classmates in the head!
