circumventor

March 20, 2014
Back in the days of the school handbook, there was always that last rule that cornered you no matter what the other rules said. It was the illustrious, "No circumventing school procedure" rule. It meant that even if the rule book didn't say, "no jumping out of the windows of the school bathroom", it was definitely a rule that they would make if they thought students would be doing it. Ahem, yes.
I have a little circumventor in my home who needs to be made aware of this handy rule. Who knew you would have to include rules like, "No using a shiny butter knife to create designs on our cds." "Do not use without supervision, even one pump (or many more) of hair detangler on any part of your hair, especially your bangs as part of your 'morning grooming'." "When completing Montessori pouring activities, do not attempt to stick the tiny glass cup into the small glass pitcher." (It will get so stuck, only your father will be able to get it out without any glass breakage.) And this is just in the last 48 hours.
