Boring dog post #249

[constance]

Tonight I made myself a chicken salad sandwich for dinner, and forgot to put the bread away when I took my plate to my desk, and this omission meant that two bites after I sat down, Leory came trotting happily into the study with the bread bag in his mouth. And I fussed and took the bread away, brought it back to the kitchen, and came back to my desk to realize that he'd taken advantage of my abandonment of the aforementioned sandwich by stealing the top piece of bread. And it was then that I realized that the loaf of bread was likely just a diversionary tactic, and I relearned a lesson I learned long ago as a nanny, which is that it is hard work trying to reprove when what you really want to do is giggle.

People of livejournal: I have been had. By a dog.

I really was a nanny, throughout college. For one family with one baby boy, and another with (when I started) four children under the age of five. And the second boy in this Large Family, in particular, brought on many laughing/frustration fits, I have to say. Looking back, it seems as though I had to leave the room to laugh my ass off and/or punch something inanimate at least once a day, with B.

And I'm so glad you got the Snape-O-Matic and had fun with it! I can't wait to get yours! :D:D:D:D:D
