The Snail Made me do it!!

Lately I have been doing a massive late summer cleaning on my house. I came across this notebook where I had decided to write down what my kids had been up to that week. Reading about it now, that was a busy week. It's dated June 18, 2005. They used a entire bottle of shampoo to make a slip and slide in the tub. Nicholas was mad at Em and peed in her toy box, later when he was mad at me he peed on my dryer. The next day to entertain Em he pooped in the middle of the living room floor as entertainment. (He had been potty trained over a year prior to these events!)

But overall my favorite story in my notebook was his explanation as to why he was doing all these bad things. He told me had a Bad Snail in his brain telling to do all things bad things. I can remember this conversation very clearly now, he had such a serious look on his face when he was telling me this so I bent down blew in his ear and found a crumb on the floor on the other side of his head, stomped on it and said, "There, now he can't get you into anymore trouble!
