Blankets: For More Than Just Keeping Warm...or So It Would Seem!

My son is crafty. My son is convincing. And my son is very, very smart.

While spending time in the kitchen recently, I hear a sweet little voice from upstairs saying, "Daddy!! Come help me!".

"What?"

"I need your help?"

"With what?"

"Things!"

"What kind of things?"

"Important things!"

"How important?"

"Very important things! Now - will will you please come and help me?"

Sigh...."of course."

At this point - I start to climb the stairs to go see what's up.

And what was up?

A prank is what was up! Pretty good one too actually!

As I'm halfway up the stairs - a big fuzzy blanket comes flying down the stairs....and traps me!

"Haaaaa haaaaa Daddy!!! You're doomed! You are stuck under my magic blanket!"

Somethings to ponder here:

The "Ha ha" part. Hmmmm.....ok - it was pretty funny.

The "doomed" part. Geeeez little man....get over yourself. It was a blanket - and I lived to type about it. Doomed I certainly was not!

The "my magic blanket" part. The blanket may very well be magical indeed. I discovered this fabled blanket in a hotel room...and it magically left with me upon checkout. So....maybe he's on to something? Maybe the blanket is magical? But...it's my damn magic blanket. I borrowed it...a long time ago - way before I met my son. So the blanket is mine little dude!

Upon escaping from the "magic blanket" - I proceeded to take it with me upstairs....and then toss it over Nicholas - and proceeded to tickle him until he was screaming with laughter. Oh...and I said he was doomed too! :)

One day I need to re-tell the story of the little boy who cried wolf to my son. I may not be so gullible the next time he needs "help". He's always got a scam brewing it would seem....wonder where he picked up that trait?

Likely Mommy. :)
