What's the old saying? Something like, "necessity is the mother of invention." Necessity = having a baby who crawls everywhere and climbs everything. Baby proofing is a daily process in my house, and I'm sure you can relate. That means that sometimes I have to be creative. For example, I was sort of hoping that my daughter would ignore the garbage can next to our entertainment center. It's small and white, I thought that maybe it would blend in.
Wrong. My daughter was into that faster than I could say, "Don't eat your fingernails!" So it moved.
You know the old schoolyard saying, "Liar Liar, pants on fire!" Well, Rachel came up with a wacky variation this evening: "Liar Liar, pants for hire."
I don't know where it came from but I was slightly shocked and wildly amused at the wit in the saying. I'm assuming it came from a cartoon or something, because it's not the type of thing she'd just come up with.
