Ronnie & James were in the Christmas Pageant at our church this year. James was a shepherd, and Ronnie was a lamb. So as not to disappoint their father, at one point during the program they had a wrestling match on stage. :oS

I was going from the kitchen to the bedroom, trying to get dressed to get the day started. When I came through the living room, Ronnie was looking at me with two books in his hand, but I decided to get dressed before reading to him.

As soon as I crossed the baby gate to my bedroom, as clear as a bell, I hear...

Ronnie (2): "Hey! Come back here!"
