Would You Say That Under Oath?

This past Saturday evening Lydia stepped on an old rusty nail during a home remodeling project. The nail went right through her shoe. We made a trip to the urgent care place and they gave us instructions to call her pediatrician on Monday.

Monday morning I called the doctor's office and the doctor said he wanted Lydia to have a tetanus booster. As a reward for being a brave girl, I gave Lydia the choice of either a donut or a cookie from one of the bakeries in town. She chose donuts, so I bought enough for everybody.

This morning before we were up and going, Joel discovered the box of leftover donuts on the dining room table (we had forgotten to put it away last night). Paul found Joel devouring a chocolate covered donut and asked him, "Who said you could have that?"

"Mommy," Joel mumbled through his mouthful of chocolately goodness. I'm not sure that answer would hold up in court.
