Today, they left them in the hallway, inside our front door.. I put the kids down for their nap and was like "Sigh..." and bent to pick them up. Then I realized, the kids hadn't absentmindedly left these toys in the hallway, they had laid a booby trap for Aaron when he gets home!
Man, my kids are funny, and diabolical, and Aaron will NEVER see this coming! They had left them splayed out close enough to the door to hit their target, but far enough that at least some of the trains would stay in place after the door opened. It hurts so bad when you don't notice and you step on one of these things with your bare foot. Aaron would get home, step on one and...
Wait, Aaron would have his work boots on. He would step on one, maybe crush it, maybe trip a little, and make the kids pick them up. And he could probably step right by them and just make the kids pick them up. My diabolical children would only be hurting themselves... Unless Aaron wasn't the target.
Aaron is wearing boots. I, on the other hand, am barefoot. The toys are close to the door, but also far enough into the hallway that an unsuspecting person might step on them if she was, say, on the way into the kitchen to drop off a sippy cup. As a matter of fact, I noticed these when I was just about to step on them...
Well, good thing I noticed and decided to pick them up! The kids' plot was foiled again and I could put these away and be the silent victor. Or...
The kids are napping, and barefoot, and in need of a lesson on leaving their toys out. Plus, if I actually put the trains away, I would have to open Sebastian's door and ruin his nap. There's only one thing a smart Mom can do.
Here is a picture of Sebastian's door:
Muahahahahahahahaha...
