After dinner tonight, you got it into your head that you were by-God going to teach Ella how to drink through a straw. Never mind that it took me a month and a half to teach you the same skill, and you had the benefit of opposable thumbs and lips.
After a while, you realized you weren't getting anywhere with your student, and you stopped to ponder the problem.
...And that's when you figured out that it would be easier to just spill a puddle of juice on the floor and let Ella lick it up. Ella was perfectly happy to have a treat that was one part juice, one part carpet lint.
Up with education!
And up with carpet that can be replaced for $30!
Love,
Mom
