**SIGH**

Over the years my son has done things that really make me go "Hmmm". But it's not really hmmmm as in the thoughtful let me think about the answer it's more like a Hmmmm WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? He's always been destructive and the words out of my mouth are usually "What made you think that was a good idea". Of course we have the time when he tied the dogs to his bed so they would sleep with him. And then the time he decided to document the loss of his first tooth on his bed. And then we had an incident with a rubber band and an animal that I've never spoke about on here and will keep it that way for fear of fierce hate mail.

And here are a few more recent ones...

I got a new car. Calli threathened Colson with his life to keep it clean. I laughed under my breath but appreciated the stern talk. Colson decides to take a styrofoam cup and rip it into what seemed like 6,000 pieces but was probably more like 600. What did I say? "WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?" And I should point out that he still tries to do this act of wreckless behavior only I've learned how to NOT tune out the ripping of styrofoam.

Colson found a screwdriver one day. He decided it would be a good idea to unscrew the light fixture plates just a little bit. He thought that would make the plate fall off when you flipped the switch. He also did this to the door jam where in the garage and for about 2 days I couldn't shut the garage door. And then I realized what was wrong. What did I say? "WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?"

A few weeks ago Colson was hanging out at my in-laws. She noticed that the door knobs in every room, closet, bathroom, etc were all sllippery. She asked Colson if he put anything on the door knobs. He quickly ran to get the jar of vaseline that he had used. What should she have said? "WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?"

And finally, the night before school, Colson was getting all clean for his first big day at school. I walk into the bathroom where he was taking a bath and notice the water was milky looking and he had a razer in his hand. I asked "Did you shave your legs?" Eventually admitting it I said "WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?"

His answer? ALWAYS "I don't know" with a big shrug!
