Have you ever noticed that those least in possession of Common Sense, are in fact those most in need of it?
Take my 10 year old, who decided to Febreze soak his bed an hour before bedtime with half a bottle of Febreze. You know, because if one or two squirts make your room smell good, why not dump half a bottle on the bedding your mother just washed? When asked “Why on earth would you do that??” he replied, “Because I don’t have any Common Sense.”
We’re not even going to discuss the dog.
…the dog who is on the kennel, not in it… the dog that scratches beyond belief even when it is hurting… the dog that will bark to be able to go play outside with a water hose but will quietly piddle or poop by the door…

What part of “We’re not discussing the dog” did you miss? ~W
Dogs and kids aren’t supposed to have Common Sense–that’s the job of us parents/owners. Can you explain to me why my high school daughter insisted on changing her schedule to take three AP classes and now won’t work on her summer assignments? She would rather fiddle around with her myspace.

Oh Margaret, I have no help for you. 😀 ~W
That made me laugh out loud. At 5:30 am. Not a bad start to the day 🙂

Boy wonder is pretty funny!
My kids have gone crazy with the Febreeze too.
I think they just like to pull the trigger and just spray away.
At least his room did smell nice huh 🙂

Yes, there was that! ~W
Common sense ain’t so common.
My daughter has been liberally spraying her Manhattan apartment with Febreeze with hopes that it works on asbestos dust.

Oh my… I hope it does work on asbestos… sheesh. Why is it the phrase Manhattan apartment never conjures up light and airy domiciles?
“Have you ever noticed that those least in possession of Common Sense, are in fact those most in need of it?”
Did Thomas Paine say that?

A whole pamphlet if I recall, and look what happened there! ~W
HeeHee… Sophie looks like Snoopy the Flying Baron, she just needs a scarf.
On the common sense note, I have had plenty of moments lately myself that I seem to be without it….

Sad thing is, she’s totally endure the scarf thing! 😀 ~W
heheh!! but how annoying for you…what did he sleep in, did you have to change the bed?
___________________________________
It was on the end of the bed, so I think he just reversed his bedding. He sleeps curled up in a ball on only half the bed, anyhow. Goofy kid! ~W
Um, yea, Febreeze is good, in squirts…not the entire bottle! 🙂 Silly boy! And I’m not discussing much about the dog, only that she’s so cute!! 🙂

The dog has issues—she fits right in! ~W
Ha! My son pulled a similar stunt, only with the bubble bath…on the carpet. It’s H.A.R.D. to clean up bubbly soap. 😉
I love Boy Wonder’s answer though. Kids say funny things 🙂

Oh yes. . . in our case it was bottle of bubbles. Oof. It doesn’t come out! ~W
Oh no…that’s too funny. Annoying as well I’m sure…but still, funny! My sister once removed herself to her room when she was being naughty, and couldn’t take her OWN actions anymore…

Oh, your sister was a handful, eh? That’s a great story. 😀 ~W
