Bad Things Seamus did Last Night

Mimi and I were out at VB last week. When we got back we asked the babysitter (the neighbor boy) how things went. As usual he said the kids all did great. I pressed him - this is what he always says and I don't believe it. But he stuck to his story. OK; maybe they really did behave themselves.

The next morning as I was eating breakfast with the kids Denis asked me if I saw his note. "What note?" I asked. He showed it to me. It was scrawled in pencil and sitting on my mail pile. It was titled "Bad Things Seamus did Last Night". The items noted were:

- Stood on his chair
- Tried to climb onto the table
- Wouldn't listen
- Tried to worm his way to get more snack
- Made excuses to come downstairs when he was supposed to be in bed
- Wrecked the chair in my room with the bears
- Just misbehaved!!
- I don't know what he did before that
- Tried to steal Tara's Pokémon cards

Going to have to ask the sitter about this next time I see him.

In the mean time we are going to apply technology. I told Denis he was free to use my new flip camera (extremely basic digital video camera). So next time I expect a multimedia presentation on his brother's (poor) behavior. I can't wait.
