if at first you don't succeed

growing definitely has its advantages. for example, i can now reach in to the third from bottom drawer of the dresser. since dad keeps his guitar in the way to prevent me opening the bottom two, i'm sure you'll understand why growing's such a good thing.

standing on tiptoe i can not only open the next drawer, i can just reach into it. mom smiled as i reached in and removed an IKEA tealight candle from the bag, sat back down on the floor, and placed it carefully in dad's slipper. i had to do this a couple more times before mom went away and left me to it. after mom stopped watching i tried taking a bite out of each candle. the thing is......they were IKEA candles. IKEA - famous for missing parts, broken bits etc etc. it was just a matter of time really before i found one that was missing it's foil wrapper. i discoverd it in the end, but unfortunately i tried to take too big a mouthful at once and started choking. mom came and extracted the wax from my mouth and took the rest of the candles away then. shame.... i'd only eaten half of it.
