Tough Lesson

I told him not to roll around in the grass. I told him to stop wrestling his baby brother. But, he didn't listen. Now he is covered in spots of poison oak - all over his back & stomach. As I dabbed calamine lotion on the poor boy I wondered aloud if he would listen to me next time. Of course, he said he would. But...I've told him not to scratch & he's not listening. I guess he's just going to have to learn the hard way.

Meanwhile, I and my trusty jug of Roundup will be spraying the yard tomorrow.
