Sneaky, sneaky

What do you get when you put a daddy with a guilty conscience and
a box of pop'ems
together with a sad, pleading 4 yr old little boy?
Something like this...

So we got home tonight after a fun dinner at Islands with the Hess's (finally!!) and the minute we walk in the front door Porter is already saying he is hungry... of course! He didn't eat much of his dinner and was complaining at the restaurant that he "had a tummy ache". So when he started begging and pleading for a donut hole I told him "No". (About 50 times) As you can imagine the tears came as well as the Oscar winning performance of "the STARVING" child.

* Now for a little background info... Ryan has been working TONS (9-10hr days and every Saturday) the last 3 weeks or so and hasn't been around much. *

As I continue sorting the mail, I all of a sudden realize that the crying has stopped. I look up to see Porter and Ryan "briskly" walking down the hall to the boys room and faintly hear some whispering from Ryan. A minute or two goes by before I realize what just happened. Ryan being the "good guy" (this is where the guilty conscience comes in from not being around much lately!) has given Porter the donut and told him to go hide and not let mom see! And that is exactly what he did!

Oh my Sneaky, sneaky boys!!

I can see why this would happen with daddy giving in.. Hmm I wonder if Michael would do the same thing. Supposedly he wouldn't but if the situation arose and it was his little girl who knows..

That is too funny! I guess a guilt can make you do crazy things, especially when it's your child. Gotta love it!
