I realize this is probably not one of my most responsible parenting moments but…

…I couldn’t help myself.

Little Bug recently started hiding when she is doing something she knows she shouldn’t do. I automatically know when she is doing this because the house goes quiet.

This particular day, things went quiet and I found her chomping away on FOUR pieces of gum that she had found in the kitchen junk drawer.

I just laughed at her (instead of doing the responsible thing and disciplining my child for hiding to do something she KNOWS she shouldn’t do).

And then, (even better), I said, “Stay right there. I want to take a picture.”

Come on, I am NOT the only parent that has ever done this, right?!
