The shoe string...

So Zach was doing his homework one night...cutting out some shapes to glue on to the next piece of paper. He got mad that Patrick reached around him to get a grape...then he almost stabbed Patrick in the face with the scissors! I was scared to death and furious! I popped him and asked him (in a rather loud voice) if he realized what he just did! So he had a little temper tantrum...The next day, I was getting ready for work and was untying my shoe, when about 6 inches came off! I immediately asked Zach if he cut my shoe string and he put his hand over his mouth trying to hide his smile and said "no!" After further questioning, I was trying not to laugh myself, he confessed he did it. I was holding the 6 inch piece of shoe string in front of him asking him what he thought I should do because these are my work shoes and I've got to go to work today!!! He looked up at me with those big brown eyes and said "do you want some tape?" I almost melted...he thinks tape fixes everything! I said "NO!" and we had a serious talk about hurting other peoples things...I kept the piece of shoe string in my pocket all day and every time I looked at it, it made me smile...just one of those things....can you tell which is which!! lol
