A Diabolical Car Seat Battle

Image
 As Logged By:  Agent Chase    Mommy's ready to drive To a luncheon date at The Hive. What better way to make her frazzle Than by letting my diabolical side dazzle?   Where, oh where could I be hiding? Under the table or behind the dividing?  Silly Mommy thinks she's won.  The car seat battle is on!    Up the stairs and down the hall.   Mommy huffs and puffs.  All while I play with my ball.   "Where are you!?"  She screeches.  Her freshly done hair starting to turn into a frizzy mess.  "We need to leave now."   Where am I hiding, you ask?   Why, right beside her purse.  The only place she'll never look.    "I will find you, Chase!"  Mommy warns.  "This is THE place to eat lunch... apparently... and I promised Heidi that I would be there at one on the dot."   Wait...   We're going to be with Heidi?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?   Oh, no, no, no, no, no.     I tuck m...

A Diabolical Balloon

 As Logged By: Agent West   All I did was catch a cold That put the whole house on hold. Mommy and Daddy will not rest Until this diabolical dude feels his best.   But, now I'm stuck with a balloon Pinned to me like an annoying buffoon. Is there some way I can switch this? I'll convince Mommy with a little kiss.    "Is he fevered?!"   Daddy rushes to get the thermometer, while Mommy presses her mouth to my forehead.     "I think he's normal, but he could be hiding it!"   "Is it possible to hide a fever?"  Daddy asks when he returns.   "With West, it is."   Thank you, Mommy.  Thank you for the compliment.  But, still.  It's only a cold.  A few sniffles, a stuffy nose.  Sure, I'm a little achy and my throat may be scratchy.  But, it's still only a cold.   "Should we take him to the doctor?"   "NO!  He laughed at us the last time West had a cold.  He wouldn't believe anything ...

A Diabolical Coffee Swap

 As Logged By: Agent Rose    Only such a cutie as me Can drink tea so diabolically. Oolong, jasmine, black, and green And everything in between.   What's this steaming in Mommy's cup? Something to help her stay up? Ooh, a coffee of Irish Creme? It needs a pinch to make Mommy scream.   Look at how cute I am!   Drinking out of Mommy's giant tea mug.   Sip, sip.  Aah, such a delight green tea can be.   "I'm telling you, Joanna, you've got to try this new Fire Department Coffee brew.  I LOVE it," Mommy expertly exaggerates her statement with a long wave of one arm and a large mug in the other.  Meanwhile, a new friend, whom I assume is Joanna, carefully follows behind with a mug clasped tight between both of her hands.   "It certainly sounds yummy.  I've never heard of Irish Creme coffee before."   I tip my head back to enjoy another sip of tea, but this diabolical sweetie has drunk her mug dry.  I pout out my lower ...

A Diabolical Art Display

But, when I've run out of notepaper The only option is wallpaper.   This mastermind's creativity will shine Right next to Gram's coastline. Squiggles and swirls all around Dear Mommy can't make a sound!     "That is soooo adorable!"  Gram squeezes at my cheeks after I show her another masterpiece.  This one is not just squiggles, but squiggles AND scratches.     All in purple.    "You're almost at the end of your notebook, Sweetie," Mommy nervously notices.   "Oh, stop it."  Gram flaps her disciplining hand at Mommy.  "Let the baby have some fun.  When her dad was that age, he couldn't stop drawing all over.  And I do mean ALL over."   Gram pumps her brows, giving Mommy some kind of hint.   What is she saying?  Why can't I understand it?   The tension of confusion gets to this diab...
