They had no idea what the chalkboard was for. We have a big board like that, in their playroom. So they were not acting out of malice, but I didn't care. They need to ask Mom first, always, before they decide to entertain themselves like that!
And misbehaving in restaurants is something I can't stand. For that reason, we rarely go out to eat. They can't sit still and I get no enjoyment out of a meal in which I am saying, Sit still...stop squirming..I *know* she has the red crayon, you'll just have to wait..would someone hand me a wipe? The baby just discovered the gum underneath the table...
My kids are really good, well behaved children but kids are kids, kwim?
Anyway, yeah, they were quite bothered by having to fess up to the Clam Chowder 5.95 erasure.
Oh and Hairdog, my BIL was driving and was indeed putting the pedal to the metal. I tried not to look at the speedometer or I would have gotten nervous. MrH keeps it to a respectable 70 in the interstate.
