6:30AM

Scott and I awoke this morning to a tremendous ruckus going on outside our bedroom door. Girls jumping out of bed and hitting the floor sounding like a herd of elephants running through the savannah. They had slept in and had five minutes to get ready. It was on.

Suddenly, we heard Hope giggling and Shae telling her it's not funny. Then, Shae screaming that she is so mad at Hope, so mad at her life and so mad at anything else that gets in the way. Following that rampage, she is yelling at Hope to just go get in the car. I was going to investigate this tirade further when they got home from school, for sure.

Both girls walked in the front door at lunch and I was ready for them. I did get the whole story.

Apparently, the girls were scrimmaging for the bathroom once they were awake. In and out, in and out. Shae got caught on the toilet paper and ran to her room with it still on the roll stuck to her pants and basically toilet papered the hall and her bedroom. Everywhere she walked, TP followed. Hope got tickled with that scene and started laughing. Shae was furious because she didn't have time for this nonsense and told Hope to go to the car.

When they arrived at school, Shae was still checking with Hope about the toilet paper stuck to her pants. Sure enough, there was a small remnant under her jacket that wasn't completely removed. Poor Shae.

Don't you wish you were a Roderick girl?

  1. I laughed out loud at this! And no matter how hard I try, I can't picture Shae screaming at anyone... : )
