oliver week: a cream cheese mystery

One day when we lived in the townhouse I was upstairs doing who knows what and Oliver was downstairs doing who knows what. I also don't remember what Max was doing. (this is why it is important to blog right after things happen).  What I do remember is hearing a little whimper coming from downstairs.  And then a louder whimper.  I came down to investigate and couldn't find the source.  Then a panicked wail came from the front of the house.  I opened the bathroom door to find this:


Can you tell by the above picture what happened before I tell you the rest of the story?







Stealing food again. Remember this? and this? and this? and this?  and then there was this.  Yes.  A Wee Swabby stole the cream cheese off the counter, shut himself in the dark bathroom, had the time of his life and then couldn't open the door with his cream cheese covered hand when he was done. Whimper Whimper WAIL. When I realized that the door handle was covered in cream cheese I laughed and laughed.  I just imagined his little slippery paw trying and trying to turn that handle.  All he wanted was a brick of cream cheese and some peace and quiet, poor little fella.


And also: snot AND cream cheese=AWESOME.



THE END

This is so funny. I guessed it right off, yeah for me:). Really who wouldn't eat a block of cream cheese while hiding in the closet?

Nichole -- so true, but now YOUR SECRET IS OUT.

So Awesome! I guess sneaking food is a second child survival tactic. Holden never did that, but Dade started sneaking food as soon as he could walk. :)

Ahahaha! The best. Well, that's what happens when you steal food and eat it in a closet with your hands. Natural consequences are just my favorite.

Not totally the same, but so funny - my sister's son (age 4) came across a box of donuts in the kitchen that his dad had purchased for an event. He stole two and hid under the table and stuffed his face with them. When my sister found him - mouth full and face smeared with chocolate - the first thing he said was, "Mommy, sometimes I don't know if I'm a good person or a bad person." Ahaha! (Isn't that how we all feel when we eat donuts?)
