Today after breakfast, Luke was eating the last of the cereal in his bowl. As I was clearing the rest of the table, he grabbed the bag with the remaining crumbs of cereal and tried to put it in his bowl, but ended up spilling it all over the table. Luke and Amanda then proceeded to grab double handfuls of the crumbs and stuff them in their mouths, until one of them knocked over Amanda's juice, which happened to be in a real cup, not a sippee cup.
My first reaction was to grab the two of them, spank them and lock them in their rooms until I had the house clean. I realized that this would probably take until they were in high school, so instead I left the scene of the crime until I could relax. If it were just the table, that would be bad enough, but the whole house has gradually been getting messier and messier, and I seem to be constitutionally unable to deal with it... I did eventually manage to wipe the table, before the juice had cemented the sugary bits of the cereal to the table, even.
In other news, Luke said one of his first 3 word phrases: "My chocolate milk." The words were distinct from each other (as opposed to Iwuvyou and deeyoulaer), although I'm probably the only one who can understand them right now.
