Day #333 - Paybacks are hell...

Us moms often end up having to eat our words, especially if we're fortunate enough to have fun-loving, wise-arse kids. Back when mine was just a young'un, we used to have a running joke at Christmas time and I would always tease him with that old cliche of "if you don't behave, Santa's going to bring you a lump of coal." One year, after he was older and had a family of his own, we were at his home for the holiday. Don't you know that brat had managed to find this tin with 3 lumps of coal to gleefully give his dear ol' mom for Christmas!! It was a hoot! :D
