Once again, here are the links to the previous 13 tales. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Frustration, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12, Part 13, Part 14.
If you have forgotten just how destructive my kids can be check Part 3 (destruction of a bed frame) and Part 5 (destruction of everything in the locked closet). A year and a half since any massive destruction and we thought it was over. Nope, not even close.
They ripped apart a mattress. You can see pieces of the foam laying around the room. The cover is torn and on the floor. The springs have been picked clean. The only reason we realized this had happened was when she got her sock stuck on the springs. He is sitting off to the side of this picture and looks very proud of himself. Of course after taking the photo, we had to know why they would take a mattress apart. He very calmly explained that he wanted to know what was inside a mattress. She just helped. UGH
The logical consequence of this is that he lost his mattress. We did not go out and buy him a new one. He slept on the floor for a month. Her punishment was not being able to share a room with him. They were both upset. I keep this blog a year in the past for many reasons. The ability to laugh at this type of behavior wasn't my plan, but it's a really nice side effect.
