And the adventure that is parenting today...............

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

Lunch was ready to be served up. Puppy alseep. DD2 playing nicely with dolly. DD1 admiring her new earrings.

I pop into the kitchen. I had barely got the chips out of the oven when dd1 pops her head in

dd1(5); You don't need to do dd2 (20mnth) or puppy any dinner
me; why not?
dd1; dd2 has taken dolly and puppy to the shop
me; WHAAAAT

In the two minutes I had been out of the room dd2 had retrieved the keys from my handbag, given them to dd1 who unlocked the door for her, sat puppy on her dolly's knee in the toy pushchair and set off to the shop .

Oh Lord. Is your heartbeat back to normal yet?

Just about. They had only gotten a few steps away from the front door.

I am finding a better hiding place for the keys. Somewhere very very high!!

Indeed, but it isn't something you'd ordinarily predict would happen! I'm quite tickled by the puppy on the doll's lap - what kind of dog is it?

nightmare!!! thank heavens for your DD1

Except that it was dd1 who unlocked the door, MadElmleaLady...

Yes it was dd1. Though she claims it was dd2. Dd2 can unlock the door though not that quickly and quietly. It takes her at last 15 mins of tryingand tantrums. dd1 otoh can do it in seconds.

The dog is a staffordshire but only 8 weeks old and seemingly slept through most of the adventure.
