In the wash....

Yesterday I found Eric's Flash Drive and Bryce's school DVD remote in the dryer (among other things), that had obviously went through the wash already and was hopelessly ruined! This isn't real surprising, if you know my son Bryce. On some occasions you will notice he walks a little funny. Why? because his pockets are so full of treasures (junk in my mind) that his pants can hardly stay up, and he has to walk that way to keep them up. My sister is really amused by this and loves to find out what's in his pockets. He is thrilled that she is interested and gladly takes out his treasures one by one, the amount of stuff is endless. There are small springs, chunks of plastic, large permanent markers (that he found on one of Eric's jobs), broken lighters.....which brings me to another thing....recently I have found him starting fires!!! One time in the garage, and another in his ROOM!!! When confronted about it, he calmly says, "What??? I wasn't going to start anything else on fire," thinking he has everything under control! As he's reassuring me, I look around and see ashes on the rug and on his chair!! We hope we have gotten it into his head now, that the house could be up in smoke in MINUTES!! Of course to be sure, I've hidden the lighters!!

Back to my story....when I asked why he had Eric's Flash Drive in his pocket, he said excitedly, "I found it!"(he probably FOUND it on the counter) Eric was wondering where it had gone!! Everything he FINDS, he assumes is his, and if not he'll usually ask you for it, no matter how ridiculous it may be that you give it to him!
