Alright, so we are all sitting down to a nice family dinner before coloring our easter eggs.
My witty four son decides to tell my three year old daughter that when the easter bunnie comes sunday morning he is comming to take all the toys that santa left.
My poor baby spent all night worried, and I caughter her hiding her babies this morning.
How’s that one for sibling torchure?
I knew that we should have named him Calvin!
Hey, Kricket! Your son is well on his way to being a prankster! Huzzah! The world needs more (tho it can be a bit traumatizing to the siblings…).
My advice: tell him to limit his genius to non-family victims! (my siblings still hate me!)
My advice:.watch the toilet seats around April 1st, hide all the superglue, and send him away for that particular day.

Kricket, you have the cutest kids! Well the cutest stories of your kids anyways…but I’m sure they’re quite adorable too! I love hearing about other people’s babies, but could never deal with any of my own. My friend Jen’s 18 month old little boy picked up the phone, called his grandmother in Florida by mashing buttons and getting her on speeddial. When he heard her voice on the answering machine, he started talking to her about the easter bunny. She called back to thank Jen for letting him talk for her, and she was so confused. She had no idea he’d been talking to anyone other than himself. Stories like these make me want a baby…the diapers lead me to a different conclusion 
I do seriously think that this has something to do with the fact that I read all of my husbands collection of Calvin and Hobbes while pregnant with my son. Addicting! Read all of them in like three days.
Astro my boy, I do believe you are right about him having the natural talent and hopefully the older siblings will be around and not let the younger one get too tramatised. Okay, so one can hope for miricles!
As for sending him away, are you offering to take him for that day? I’m sure that I can pencil you in until he is of age to move out. One day a year, you can handle that right?
Pammipoo, you my dear may borrow any of the heathens any time you make it to Iowa. My five are a good source of birth control. After spending a few days with them you will be so tired you either won’t be able to function when the urge arises, or you will be so frustrated you will swear off child birth until they figure out a way just to give us grandchildren from the start! 
BTW how much was that phone bill?!
Really guys, it’s stuff like this that make parenting interesting.
I love hearing Persephones stories, because I can relate to alot of them and therefore I know I am not alone in my insanity.
And for those of you proud to have another prankster in the ranks, pray for me since he starts kindergarten in the fall!!! 
Hmmm Kricket has combat experience in child rearing…penciling her name in for future babysitting (what’s one more when ya have 5?) 
And I love hearing Kricket’s stories…because they make me very, very glad I stopped at two. :eek:
((((Kricket))))
Isn’t it nice to find out, though, that your children have a sense of humor?
Oh, Mr. Dave, just you wait! I am famous for spoiling the heck out of others children just cause I can send them home.
You see Persephone, later in life, when I snap, I will truly be able to plead insanity. There is a method behind the maddness.
Really, there is!
Okay, you can all just stop looking at me like that!
