Mood Swings

This is a story from several months back, but an amusing one nonetheless. It serves to show how moody little ones can be. Jack is often happy as can be one moment only to break down in tears the next. This is one of those stories. You see, Jack loves to play in the kitchen. His mother always seems to be in there cooking or cleaning, so he spends a lot of time in there with her. In fact, one of his favorite activities of all time is to help her unload the dishwasher. Actually, his real desire is to climb into the dishwasher, which brings us to this story. On the day in question, he figured out how to open the storage drawer located under the oven. After banging around some of the cookie sheets and other shiny metal things stored there, he decided to actually climb into the drawer. He was extremely proud of this feat, and he sat there and smiled for quite a while.

However, once the excitement wore off, the time came when he wanted to move on to something else. This is about the time he realized that he couldn't figure out how to get out of the drawer! Instant mood change. Tears of frustration overcame him. Instead of immediately rescuing the poor boy, his mother continued to take pictures of him, presumably so we could have shots like the one to the left that we'll be able to use to make fun of him for years to come.
