Something Squirrelly this Way Comes

The other morning my oh so clever nephew JT led his own rebellion. Although, I'm sure the family thinks he was just playing.

But what do they know? They put him to work doing mindless chores that they don't want to do. Claiming all the while that JT wants to do them.

We all know that's not true. I don't think there's a kid alive that actually wants to do chores. Common sense people.

If they ask me, this is what I'll say, "Of course JT was just playing! What else would he be doing? He's not even three yet!"

I won't tell them that JT and I had planned this event weeks ago. He was to carry it out when he deemed it safe. When he had enough time to execute it completely without being interrupted.

Obviously he found an opportunity and took it. I think that shows that he has good judgment. And also stealthy ninja skills.

Smart boy that he is, he even improvised. Apparently he had more time than even he thought possible. Thank goodness for people who sleep in on weekend mornings.

The pink bottle on the bed is baby lotion. Sadly JT was unable to get this opened. Which is for the best as he would've been distracted by the smell and started eating it (Hey he's not yet three and the lotion does smell good) instead of being devious.

Instead he got the soap from the bathroom and brought it back into his room. Since he had finished our plan (dust his room with two bottles of baby powder) without being caught, he decided to up the ante and start making paste.

Paste is fun! Plus his folks had shown him how to make it (well not with baby powder & soap, but JT is smart and used what he had on hand). He was just putting what he was taught to the test. Unfortunately his folks discovered his actions before he got to make too much paste. Ah well.

This last picture is of JT doing time. That is, he had to clean his cars off. And his hands. And his arms. Most likely his face too.
