Well a confession Pat we had a tree in the garden. Dad said 'Do not climb that tree, it will spoil it if a branch breaks. We did and very carefully bound the split branch together. He never seemed to notice, I don't know if it grew together again, we kind of avoided the spot.

Fun post for me. Four sons kept me busy, and laughing most of the time (except for incidents of stitches) while their dad was the one to freak out. I never told their dad the things I had done as a kid because his mother made him be "perfect" and he wouldn't have believed me.

I'm impressed they took the initiative to repair the glass...
So many kids would wait till the parents came home, and suffer the punishment. I think it must be a guilt thing, because it sure isn't sensible!

I myself do not have children, but I have things that I would never tell my parents that I did...A little secret there, I see.

I wouldn't even know to where begin if I were to get into the stories of my misdeeds, LOL, but I had to chuckle at your detour off the straight-and-narrow of healthy food!
Like you, I'm very much committed to all that - so how do I square that with the sad fact that I often buy a napoleon or some such sinful concoction, always trying to sneak it in past my LSW's sharp eye?
