Wreaking Havoc

I was told recently how my children wreaked havoc at their school one day. M ran away from the class, across the gym and towards the lobby area. T was in line near the door and happened to see M breaking free and running. Lo and behold, T takes off running too. Yes, the 2 of them, running for freedom from circle time I guess. Well of course they both got into big trouble at home and school, and I was certainly mortified when told of the incident. BUT one thing also came to my mind. Those 2 really stick together, through thick and thin, good and bad, just like family is supposed to. It made me think of all of the havoc Jamie, his sister, my sisters, little cousin J and I used to wreak when we were younger-running and hiding from spankings together, playing games for hours in the backyard, watching Teen Wolf a million times, jumping fearlessly (and foolishly) down the laundry chute, singing and dance offs, playing ball in the street, sneaking to watch PG13 and R rated movies, fighting and then making up, burping contests, playing hide and seek with the trees, and yes, breaking windows occasionally.
Here's a shout out to the sweet 6, D, J, B, K, J and me. Passing the torch on to the family's next havoc wreakers! I love you all.
