What the?

Our children have tried many places for a time out.  My personal favorite is the stairs.  That way you can keep an eye on the kiddos while doing something else.  BUT, then they are part of it all and not really thinking about what they did, so the next best place is the bathroom.

We sent Gavin to the bathroom for a time out.  And then, well, we forgot.  And the I think he forgot.  So after a while we were looking for him, and suddenly he emerged from the bathroom.  Smiles and repentant for his misdeed ( no idea what it was).

Then nature called me, I used the bathroom and saw this sitting on the sink.

No I don't bring a camera with me to the bathroom.

I came out a little creeped out.  "Jeb, were sculpting in the bathroom?"  

He looked at me quizzically, "No."  But then I thought he was teasing me.

"Well nice job on your sculpting!"

"What are you talking about?"

"There is a sculpted toilet paper bear in the bathroom, the one you sculpted... You didn't do it?"

"No, I really didn't."

He goes and looks, then we are both laughing.  What the?

We questioned all the kids, and finally Gavin said, "Oh yeah, I made that."

Wow!!!  I am sure this is how all famous artists start out, sculpting toilet paper.  Move over Michelangelo, time out in the bathroom will never be the same again.
