It had a picture of a cartoonish Paul Bunyan on the front. Elijah and I had just finished reading a book about Paul Bunyan so he took a quick interest in the catalog as I set it on my desk. The conversation went something like this....
Elijah: "Mommy, can I take it and look at it?"
Me: "No."
Elijah, being the ever questioning 6 year old: "Why not? I just want to look at it?!"
Me, likely in not the most patient of tones: "Because what you're going to do is take it downstairs or some other random place in the house, look at it for 2 minutes, then forget about it, set it down and it will just be one more thing for me to pick up. So just leave it on the desk."
Tonight I find it downstairs in the middle of the floor as I'm cleaning up.
Marty left it there.
I'm glad I can see the humor in it or my head just might explode. :)
I was just logging on to tell you how amazing you are and how much I appreciate you :) Really.
