I think those are two of the most dreaded words (or are they just sounds) that any mother hears.

I was greeted to those sounds the other evening. Now, when a mother is aware that there has been an “uh oh”, she has three choices:

1. Go investigate
2. Send the children to handle it
3. Pretend you never heard the “uh oh” and live in ignorance as long as you can

I was pretty much busted on this one, and had to go investigate. I entered the dining room (the source of the “uh oh”) and found milk spilled all over the floor.

It turns out that Indigo had asked Greyden to get her some milk. Being a super big brother, Greyden did. But why was there milk all over the floor?

I admit to an accusing tone of voice when I said to Greyden, “Why didn’t you put the lid on Indi’s sippy cup?”

The reply??

“But YOU said she didn’t need a lid.”

“When did I ever say that?”

“Last night – YOU said that she didn’t need a lid.”

Then I remembered, Indigo was drinking water out of my glass. Someone (I don’t remember who) tried to get her to stop, and I said, “that’s ok, she doesn’t need a lid.”

Oh well, I’m not going to cry over spilled milk!
