The Hormones Make An Appearance!

So far I haven't seen much proof of Anne having any hormone related mood swings or irrational behaviors. Today, I think I've seen the first occurence.

We have a rock pathway (ie; 1" to 2" river rocks) that goes along the side of the house. Anne went out and pulled some dandelions out of the rocks - and where the weeds were - the rocks were a little muddy. So....she decided that she was going to pick a bunch of these muddy rocks up, move them over into the yard and the driveway....and wash them off. I told her I didn't really think it was necessary, because we were outside and the rain would wash the rocks off. That wouldn't do. I decided - judging by the look on her face at my questioning this decision - I better let it go and went inside.

10-15 minutes later I went back out and she had muddy feet, muddy pants, muddy hands....but the rocks were nice and clean and are now back in our pathway with the other rocks.....

When I went back out - she was smiling and I told her that it was one of the weirdest things I'd ever seen - and we could just blame it on the hormones.

  1. In my defense, the rocks were buried in the mud. They didn't look like rocks but big mud clumps. So I dug them out and washed them off so they looked like rocks on the top of the path not just big mud clumps!

  2. Easy solution would have been to get more rock...but I suppose washing what you already had worked well enough.
