good things part 3

*when gray is in a really really bad mood and threatening to ruin our family time date and beautiful walk in the sunshine, i stop, take a deep breath, and look around for a sign. i see a tree with a nice butthole just waiting to be poked. i say to her "if you put your finger in that tree's butthole i guarantee that your bad mood will disappear."

and it does.

I wish that when I was in a grumpy mood, putting my finger into a tree would get rid of my bad mood. Maybe I should try this with the kiddies.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

xoxox,
Steph

Not to dispell the magic or anything, but having grown up playing free in the wilds, I learned the hard way not to stick my hands where I can't see: things with teeth and or poisonous stingers often live in those lovely little butt holes! Just want the gorgeously grumpy Gray to stay safe! Excellent concept in general, though. I'll have to try it!

Seth loves the word butthole so that made me laugh! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Missing you all!
