Crappy thing #1: No tooth fairy
Ky came into our room this morning to tell us that he lost his tooth yesterday and secretly tucked it away to see whether or not the tooth fairy would come if Mom and Dad were kept out of the loop. Well, as coincidence would have it.....that very night, the tooth fairy was so preoccupied in other kids homes that the trip to the Ostlers couldn't happen that night. Talk about a let down.....Ky was left disappointed wondering why he was forgotten by the all important fairy.
Crappy thing #2: Ky's 3yr old little brother throwing his DSi in the kiddie pool
Not just any DSi. The very one that he had just bought days before WITH HIS OWN HARD EARNED MONEY. Ugh! There isn't anything worse then having to do chores and work for a few bucks here and a few bucks there, THEN having to stick half your money in savings, cover the Lords portion in tithing, and patiently count for many long months as the pennies finally turn into dollars and dollars turn into $160 so that you can buy the most popular game systems on the market today.....only to have your little brother chuck it into the pool a couple days after getting it.
I did my best to help him get it working again, but it was a lost hope.
Crappy thing #3: Missed Cub Scouts tonight
Now to a mom or a dad, having your kids miss the blue and gold banquet isn't all that bad of a thing. One less errand. One less headache or hassle having to keep the rug rats settled down through one of those events. But to the Cub Scout who is supposed to be earning some awards, and who looks forward to these for weeks ahead of time.....You dare not miss!!
Well when the evening came and went tonight and I discovered that I had completely spaced it on getting to this, I told Dan we needed to keep our mouth shut and hope Ky forgot too. I think the plan would have worked if it wasn't for the ENTIRE cub scout group coming to our door after the event to tell Ky that they really missed him. AND to rub it in....they made sure to tell him just how much fun he missed out on. Giving him gifts and posters and finished activities that they all enjoyed doing that night. After all.....they didn't want him to feel left out.
Can his day get any worse......I don't think so.
