Most days between the hours of 1pm and 3:30pm a (necessary) quiet settles on our household, as the little lady and man enjoy an afternoon siesta. Every now and then, Jeff and I rest our own weary heads on the couch and enjoy what we affectionately refer to as family nap. It is glorious.
Then there are days between the hours of 1pm and 3:30pm that a subtle and muted tinkering can be heard through the quiet. It is barely noticeable, but a trained mother's ear can detect it.
And, it is on those days that the little lady's biggest and most spectacular plans are executed.
Me - "Um...Charlotte, you were supposed to be taking a nap."
Little lady - "But, I'm Charlotte...the working girl."
Working girl, indeed.
The little lady quite pleased with her work requested the presence of her father.
Enter father.
Little lady - "Daddy, look what I did."
Daddy - [with a look of utter disbelief] "Wow! I'm not even mad; that's impressive."
Man, I love those two.
Lesson learned - If you are alerted to nap time tinkering and do not get off the couch to peek, prepare yourself for a spectacular display of chaos...I mean creativity.
