We Should

Lindsey has developed a new love for the word should.  Every time I tell her she "shouldn't" do something she replies, "I should!" in her little chipper voice that frankly is hard to argue with.  Sometimes she even switches it up and says "you should!"  Let me give you an example:
Just last week I was hiding in taking a shower.  Lindsey has decided that when I shower she should come in the bathroom and sit on the toilet and talk to me.  It's especially great when I get out and she gives me a running commentary on my body, but you so don't want to hear about that.  Anyway, the other day I opened the curtain to find the entire roll of toilet paper unrolled onto the floor.  I sighed and said, "Lindsey, you really shouldn't unroll the toilet paper."  She looked my right in the eyes and said, "You should!  It's fun."  I have to admit, she can be very convincing, it does look fun.  I may have to try it.  The trick is finding a time I can do it and frame it on the kids in perfect timing so that someone else has to roll it back up because that is not fun. 
I think she has a career in advertising.

Sounds like it's time for a toilet paper unrolling party! (At someone else's house!)

I hope you are saving these little ditties. A best selling book is in the making, when you get the time (?).

haha I can totally picture that coming out of her little mouth. And just picturing it I'm tempted to go try it in my own bathroom. LOL

Sounds like the girls both have pretty bright career futures ahead of them. And I guess people wouldn't TP houses if it wasn't so fun. The more I think about it, the more fun it sounds...
