1- Why do kids INSIST on playing on the stairs?
They aren't comfortable (at least I don't think so). They can be dangerous. We have an entire floor dedicated to the kids...and they play on the stairs?
2. Why is there ALWAYS a pile at the bottom of the stairs waiting to go up? And why is there ALWAYS a pile at the top of the stairs waiting to go down?
I ALWAYS take an armload when I go up. And I ALWAYS take an armload when I go down. But why do the piles persist?
One day I made a proclaimation that everyone was to take an armload up and/or down when traversing the stairs. Maclaren confirmed she was "in."
Angus kind of sat there sucking his thumb not saying anything.
And Allan simply refuses because he claims his own mother worked him to death when he was a child.*
* I haven't been able to verify that with any of his sisters.
i hear ya on the stairs. i want that first picture dry-mounted and sitting in the shelves of the playroom/room b/w the kids room. its perfect. the last comment from allan kills me. totally kills me.
