It was the greatest mastermind operation in history. Strategically planned and carried out by that dastardly villain Trevor "the Trevanator" Shepherd and his loyal side kick Trinny Grace aka "cutie pie". Their poorl mother never saw it coming. There it sat..that beautiful delicious cane of candy glistening atop the Christmas tree. Ever so smartly placed (at least she thought) by a Ms. Molly Malone...how could 2 such little ones reach that?? One can never assume such a thing again.The fateful night was the eve before Christmas eve. The temptation had just gotten to great..they just HAD to sink their greedy little teeth into the oozy peppermint goodness.The mom was walking the hall..preparing to place the children in bed for the night..when suddenly...there they were...two adorable baby blue eyes flashed in front of her....the "precious" little piggy tailed teddy bear toting girl toddled into her heart by holding up her favorite froggy book and said "blafilah" which the mom knew in baby language as "read me a book" Unable to ever resist such a request...the mom swept up her little angel and sat down. Unlike any other time..the little girl got up..took her mom by the hand..and led her into the bedroom unseen by the living room..and.... the Christmas tree. With his mom being distracted...the evil little boy was free to perform the unspeakable..the grand theft of the candy cane!!!It appeared that the mom had underestimated just how tall the almost 3 year old had become..and with just a boost of height provided by standing on top of a baby wipe container..and with the assistance of the boys stiff cowboy hat...that candy cane had very easily been knocked out of the tree. (this had later been proven when a second attempt had been made)Then..just as quickly as the little girl had come upon her mother...she got up and ran down the hall.With the freedom that the mom now had..she made sure her little "sweethearts" were safe...and started organizing clothes. After the course of a whole FIVE minutes..the mom realized the children were not in the living room...and there was an eerie silence...no laughter..no stomping of feet...no songs or the sound of toys...nothing...except a very faint crackling of plastic. Being suspicious..the mom set out on a quest to discover what may be happening. As she turned the corner..she was faced with the horrid truth..their they sat..side by side..with the biggest grinchy mischievous smiles..with long tinges of red streaming down both side of their mouth..were her two youngest.."innocent" little angels. As the mom put her hand on her hip...their evil chuckling stung into the night. Yep..they had gotten the best of the mom who thought she had seen everything..and that she could outwit them all..she had proven to be very wrong.It will be a sight that she will NEVER forget..and a Christmas that will forever be remembered. I will make sure to put the candy canes higher in the future. Merry Christmas to all my cherished family and friends..and to those who have kids...WATCH them little boogers like a hawk...and never think that they cannot do something!!!
