DeeKenis the Menace!

CAREFUL! He make look harmless, but believe me he isn't!

D is hitting his terrible twos a little late. I am really trying hard to remember if Noah was this crazy at Deeken's age. We lived in a very small apartment, and I still don't remember him being like this. I do know that time as faded the hard times. Still, Deeken is just such a curious menace. There are a few stories I could add here, but I will go with the big one. The very sticky details of it all. John's mom and dadgave us two quarts of honey for Christmas. It was all in one nice big container, and I was soooo excited. I knew it was going to be yummy and delicious, and dreamed of all the nice things I could put under it.

Well, we forgot to take it out of the car. I saw it a couple of times but figured I had enough to carry inside already. Well, one day while Deeken was waiting for me in the car, he decided to open the nice big container and get a taste. Then shut the lid again...not tightly. Where did I get the detail? Micah. Did she mention it to us? Nope. Thus when John was driving the van later, and heard the honey tip over, he had no idea that it might cause a problem. When he made it home, and Micah un-buckled, she said,"Ummm, Dad the honey spilled all over." At this point Deeken should know that he is VERY lucky that it was his daddy who was in the car, and not his mommy. How much spilled out do you ask. ALL OF IT!!!

John had the frame of mind to drive back down to the bottom of the driveway and put the car at an angle, so that the honey would oooze out of the car. What do you clean honey out of a car with? Well, John got a long wooden spoon to help scoop it out. But once you have the honey on the spoon where do you put it. You ever tried to fling honey off of a spoon? So then John got hot water to melt the honey off the spoon. Oh it was a mess. My answer to this mess...LETS SELL THE VAN!!!

For the rest of the holidays we had a very nice SEAL to out drivers side doors. I practically could have pulled my arm out of the socket to get it open. We went and washed our car with a high power sprayer and were able to get rid of the rest of it. I hope! At least the door opens easier now.

Do I have any advice for those who might come across the same thing? TAKE THE HONEY OUT OF YOUR CAR AS SOON AS YOU GET IT!
