Bubble Wrap

We had a funny moment that I thought I would share with everyone.  Today was fairly uneventful--Alex, Logan, and Caison spent most of the day in the play room playing with different toys.  There was a search for the Joker action figure at one point, they pretended to be cowboys sitting around a campfire, and then they played with trucks.  As I said, fairly uneventful.  Around 1:15 I took Caison to Logan's bed and put a blanket on him so he could take his nap.  I came out of the room and heard something that sounded as if some one was being slapped repeatedly.  Being a mother of boys who wrestle and fight all the time I said, "You better not be hitting each other."  The only response I received was giggling.  I shook my head and started unloading the dishwasher and I heard the slapping sound again.  I said, "What are you guys doing?"  They were sitting in the recliner so they were pretty well hidden from me. I heard more giggling.  It was at that moment that I realized they couldn't be hitting each other because no one was crying.  If one of them was slapping the other in the face repeatedly, there would be crying! So I walked in the living room and found them sitting side by side popping bubble wrap. They both burst out in laughter when they saw me. Alex said, "You're silly, momma.  You thought we were slapping!" He and Logan both started laughing again and continued to pop the bubble wrap, which by this point, seemed to be the funniest thing ever to them.

Logan had a lot of fun with the bubble wrap. He kept straining as if it was hard work to pop the little bubbles.

So, the next time you hear something that sounds like slapping, don't jump to conclusions.  It just might be two little boys popping bubble wrap.
