Four minutes and thirty-one seconds.<\/p>\n

That’s the length of hubby’s marketing clip that he was listening to while we put on shoes and I tightened my ponytail.<\/p>\n

We were headed out for a pajama and DVD drive. Hubby wanted to run by the book store and we figured the kids could wind down to Jungle Book in the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Four minutes and thirty-one seconds with our bedroom door closed.<\/p>\n

All of the kids were pajama-ed and shod. Dinner was put away. The cat was asleep.<\/p>\n

And yet, four minutes and thirty-one seconds is, it seems, just exactly long enough.<\/p>\n

I came out and was greeted by the almost 11-month-old grinning up at me.<\/p>\n

With her pretty, fuzzy, little blonde head dripping.<\/p>\n

I looked at hubby.<\/p>\n

“It’s never a good sign when the baby’s head is wet.”<\/p>\n

I walked to the living room with hesitant trepidation.<\/p>\n

DinoBoy jumped up and proudly stood tall. His head dripping also. He grinned and proudly exclaimed “Mamma! I combed my hair!”<\/p>\n

I breathed a sigh of relief. That was no big deal. The bathroom sink was almost never dry anyway.<\/p>\n

“Did you comb the baby’s hair too?” I asked, smiling at his sweet, elated little face.<\/p>\n

“Yeeeeppp.”<\/p>\n

Then I heard it. What I had taken 10 short seconds to believe might not be.<\/p>\n

The result of four minutes and thirty-one seconds.<\/p>\n

That’s when SunshineGirl’s little gravely voice piped up from behind me:<\/p>\n

“Yep, mamma! We combed baby’s hair in the toilet!”<\/p>\n

….\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
