Rainy days bring out the creative in our children. For some reason, the lessons that take forever to complete on a sunny day, are done in minutes. You, the mother, spend the rest of the day second guessing disasters as the children find ways to keep themselves amused. Hard as it is to believe, doing an extra book report or some encyclopedia research doesn’t seem to appeal to them.
Even though the majority of your children may have reached the age of reason, reason and active children don’t always find a common meeting place. So, while the rain pours down and the thunder shakes the house, you realize every word that comes from the mouths or your babes will have to be analyzed carefully. Children can keep themselves occupied when confined to the house. It is up to the parent in charge as to whether the house will still be standing when they have had their fun. There are certain key words or phrases that should immediately raise the red flag.
1. Mom! Where do we keep the rope?
2. Did you know that dogs really like peanut butter, especially straight from the jar?
3. Can the vacuum spit things out again if you need them back?
4. No, you jump first!
5. How many vitamins can the cat eat before she gets sick?
6. Where does the water go when it overflows the bathtub?
7. What happens if all the labels fall off the canned food?
8. Did you see how muddy the dogs were when they ran past?
9. Mom! Did you know you could call France from our telephone?
10. How long do we have before Dad gets home?
