Commotion from the direction of the kid's bathroom. I can hear 2 year old being evicted. His company was not desired during 13 year old's bath.
I tune everything out and mentally vacate to an age where I could be wearing an elegant morning gown, sipping tea out of bone china while my cook awaits the evening menu.
Commotion again. I can see 2 year old stomping into the kitchen like a man on a mission. He angrily opens the cutlery drawer.
Whoa, this is not part of my ideal 1790's daydream. I follow unobtrusively as he marches with his newly acquired butter knife back to the bathroom door. Once there he deftly inserts knife into the keyhole and begins to unlock the door.
Commotion yet again. Sounds of the 2 year old trying to resume his conversation with 13 year old sister, squeals of outrage from said 13 year old, gasping sounds of momma trying to hide her laughter.
Obviously every-time I've had to jimmy an accidently locked interior door, a monkey has been watching.
This is part of Steady Mom's 30 minute challenge. This post took 27 minutes and several ginger cookies.
I'm so grateful that God made mothering such a surprising and ever-funny field of endeavor. Check out Gratituesday for more reasons to smile.

Sooo funny! Oh, you gave me a laugh!
That's great! 2 year olds are so observant!!! My little two year is old is cracking me up, too.
Adorable. What a clever little guy.
Oh for cute!!!! The things they pay attention to when we don't notice!!!!!
He should be able to go in there just because he is so cute and diligent!!
What a great story!! Haha, we have similar age-spreads in our house, and it's always an adventure, isn't it? :)
Simply marvelous. Never a dull moment, eh?
There is really nothing like the ingenuity of 2!
Thanks!!! That's so funny!!! Hope peace reigned supreme and you could get back to your mental vacation!!!
Our children are always watching. Gosh, it makes this whole parenting thing rough sometimes, especially when I'm trying to sneak a few cookies!
Great story:) I love it.
And I so understand the drama between a teenager and a toddler!
Thank you very much for sharing this. I'm still smiling.
Very funny! I thought it was gonna go to a dark place (says the girl who once marched into the kitchen for a knife to cut my baby sister's head off -- thank goodness my mama was there to help me change my mind!).
