While shopping today, I spoke with the missus... and received startling news.
Seems one of our pride and joys got into a bit of trouble. Whilst playing with her friends, she took a stick and beat and dragged it along the side of a friend's car.
Yep, we had the same reaction.
We got lucky. Nice thing about this time of year in Germany is the amount of dirt on the cars - apparently, the dirt serves as a great buffer against kids whose brains have drained from their heads.
It buffed out.
I commend our friend for having the self-control to not exterminate our young vandal on the spot, especially since he was in the car when she did it.
When asked why, she gave the classic "I don't know" and also that they were playing "policeman" and she being the policeman (sorry, PC thugs, I'm not using 'policewoman' here), she decided to arrest him. Lovely.
She's only seven... We can't wait to see what's coming down the road.
Meanwhile, our middle precious gift from God has forgotten her toilet training. Yep, the 3 year old is back in diapers. Near as we can determine, it's her way of "expressing" herself with all the changes in Mommy lately. Would rather she find a different expression...
And then there's Thomas... our last hope...
(For Star Wars fans out there, it cracks Ellicia and myself up, when the girls are bad, to walk up to Thomas, hold our hands to our heads like two Princess Leia-style honeybuns, and say, "Help me, Obi-Thomas... you're our only hope!" Guess you have to be there, or be nuts, for that one...)
So, anyone want to buy a future juvenille delinquent? :)

Ah, yes, it must be refreshing to get back to the basic child-rearing battles!
As my mother always said..."this too shall pass". And it will, but not before they start turning your hair gray! Look at it this way, none of them have gotten tattoos yet. Have they?
