Pranks

Do you remember how your mom always fell for everything? Sometimes, no matter how many times your dad/brother/you pulled it on her? And did you vow not to fall for all the pranks your kids pull on you? Well, I did, and I can tell you right now, there is no way I’ll be able to keep that vow!! Yes, I nearly was taken in by my 3 ½ year old son. Driving in the car he yells up, "Mom, I’m bleeding." Now, he’s constantly asking if he’s bleeding over various scrapes, so this is nothing new. However, as I look back there is a big glob of red goo and my heart jumps and starts looking for a place to pull over. Thankfully I remembered just in time that he had just been eating red licorice! Yup, red licorice and I nearly pull over! Yikes, I’m in for it!
