Holy Warnings Batman!

The kids were all in bed. We had friends over and were enjoying a late dinner and a movie when suddenly the Christmas tree next to Dathan sprouted a head that called out, "Mom! I'm up to get a drink!" After jumping out of my skin I realized that Sam, who was NOT sleeping like a good little boy, had snuck up the stairs and stealthily climbed under our tree for who knows how long. As I glowered at him trying to decide what to do with the little curmudgeon, he decided he needed to get his little puppy dog eyes closer to me to achieve the desired effect. While he was working his way over he stubbed his toes on a clump of pine needles that had fallen from the tree and consequently crumpled into a little ball on the floor. I realized that I was receiving Heavenly support in my parenting and told Sam that he must have just gotten a "Spanking from God" for not staying in bed like I asked him to. As our friends and I were sitting there quietly pondering my deep wisdom, the little lump on the floor whispered, "But, He didn't even give me a warning." :)
