Bad Behavior (Seth variety)

Seth has been a little devil over the last 24 hours. Here’s a sampling (and this is just what Mommie can remember).

We’re in the kitchen trying to plan the weekend and getting over a bout of Seth bad behavior. All of the sudden we hear:

Nora: SETH DON’T TOUCH MY MATH BOOK.

[Mommie and Daddy arrive to see Seth sprawled across the dining table and grabbing at Nora’s math book with grubby hands]

Daddy: Seth, you can’t be grabbing other people’s things. Go to your room for a time out and think about what you did.

Seth: I think fast. OK?

*********

Mommie: [in the kitchen, turning around to find the sponge suspiciously close to Seth’s nose] Seth, are you licking the sponge?

Seth: [Angelic smile] Yes!

***********

Mommie: Seth, don't push Nathan

Seth: But I kicking him and he not get out of the way.

Today during the day, we couldn’t find the soap in the kids’ bathroom. After getting out a brand new soap, the old one reappeared at bedtime. Here’s Seth’s take on the situation:

Seth: This [points to new soap] my soap. Old dirty soap, Nora and Nathan’s.
