Please Knock.....

I was recently reminded of a story I told 3 years ago.

Our oldest was just learning to string words together to make sentences. She was very proud of that fact and made LOTS of signs.

One sign posted on her bedroom door said "PLEASE KNOCK".

The younger sister, not wanting to be left out, needed a sign for her room too. One Problem, she couldn't spell. So, she relied on her older sister to tell her what to write. She knew her letters so all she needed was an older sister.

Easy enough, huh?

Maybe not.

When I walked down the hall I found an interesting sign on the door. When I asked the little one what the sign said she replied "PLEASE KNOCK". She was very surprised to learn that the sign she wrote said "POOP ON ME".

She took off after her older sister screaming and waving her arms and managed to land a few blows before I got to her.

I told her from now on, always have Mommy check her signs.

We haven't had another problem.
