Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 My ILs gave a beautiful set of Beanie Babies for Christmas. They were paired animals and an ark. (Yes, I wasn't crazy about that, especially since it had genesis and psalm verses on the tags...) He was just playing with them, and I was running him a bath. He LOVES colored baths, so he upended an entire bottle of orange food colouring into the water. Then he came back and said something to the animals about water. I said, " don't put your animals in the bath. " He looked at me. I said, " they will all turn orange. " Next thing I knew, I heard a gigantic PLOPSPLASH..... " I'm sorry, I'm sorry, " he said to me. " You don't need to tell me you're sorry, " I said. " You ruined your OWN toys. " A lesson in consequence...or am I too hopeful?

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 > A lesson in consequence...or am I too hopeful? You never know... I think you handled it great. BTW, the Flood story is older than old...The very first written story, Gilgamesh, alludes to it; and it is an old story even then. It doesn't need to be a Biblical thing if you don't want it to be. Well, except for the verses...but if they were in the tub, I'd assume the tags were removed... I do understand your not being happy about it. Just trying to offer you another way of handling it. -Sara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds too much like when he went and did it after you told him 'no' and why he shouldn't. For your sake, I'm hoping I'm wrong!
