Mystery Box

Dear Lila,

When you came home from school today, I told you that a huge box had blown into our backyard (lie #1) and asked if you could move it to the patio for me because my knee was bothering me (lie #2). You asked if anything was in it and I said no (lie #3). Then I watched as you walked up to the box, noticed something inside, opened the lid--and screamed and jumped when you saw DiDi and MuiMui sitting inside! Hahahaha!

Daddy had ordered a bean bag chair for the play attic and the box it came in was HUGE. It was so huge that I knew your siblings would like playing in it, which they enthusiastically did after they came home from school and saw it in our yard. They immediately crawled into it (and yes, the box was so big that they could both sit inside it) and pretended that it was their house. As I watched them and noticed that you would be home from school soon, I realized that we had a golden opportunity to prank you! Thankfully, you weren't mad about it and even joined in on the fun and played "store" with DiDi and MuiMui after you got over your initial shock. Kids + cardboard box = hours of playtime!

Love,
Mom
