Never Take a Sunday Nap!

Back in May, one Sunday afternoon, I took the rare opportunity and took a LONG nap. Tom had the kids in the basement - everyone was so quiet - it was blissful. Apparently, Tom was a bit groggy too, because he put "Phantom of the Opera" on for my 5 and 3 year old to watch. Yes, the PG-13 version - the dark, seductive, and age inappropriate one. I was unaware that it had taken place until the next morning when Karah started talking about a phantom and asked if I had paper, scissors, and tape. About 20 minutes later she emerged with her creation.

Karah was so proud of her creation that she rode her bike around the neighborhood with it on. When Tom came home and saw her, I have never heard him laugh so hard. He didn't laugh too long - after all he had some explaining to do.

Ever since then, the kids have not stopped singing their favorite phantom songs. Bradley yells, "Sing to me my darling" as Karah belts is out higher and higher. We have opted to expose them to the CD, as opposed to the DVD.

Moral of the story - if you don't want Child Protective Services called on you - for a mental assessment to be conducted on your child - after they are spotted masked, on a Barbie Bike....don't take a nap on Sunday.
