9- Definitely Not Juliet

Pepper recently became a child.

And he's still cute as ever. :) [I've said that about all my kids, haven't I?]

and.... wait, you never got to meet my baby, did you?

Well, he's not exactly a baby anymore. Meet kid #3, Romeo Izefia! :D
I know I just said something about that, but isn't he the cutest? [All my kids are the cutest, alright?]

It wasn't that surprising when he got a doll in the mail too. His is named Boinky. [of course he loves the thing! He sings to it all the time!]

Anyways, Child Pepper plays with his doll all the time.
Which actually reminds me, I haven't seen the thing in awhile.

He likes to pretend he's the king of the household [he is the oldest boy], but a lot of the time I would walk in a room to find him talking to himself, and playing games with basically nothing. He said it was Rags, but... I worry about that child sometimes. Especially after.. well, I'll tell you.

A couple of days ago, Romeo was having one of his fussy days. I had succeeded in laying him down for a nap, and since I was tired I decided to take one too.

Alice and Pepper must have come home from school when I was still asleep, but they were quiet, so I didn't hear them at all.

He was very quick and quiet about it. [I swear, I didn't hear or feel a thing!]

well, let's just say Pepper was banned from using scissors from then on.

I wasn't too mad about it [yes, I was annoyed and surprised he would do such a thing], but what really irked me was that he lied about it. I knew it was him, because when I woke up, he was the one in front of me cleaning it up. But immediately he was blaming Rags. I don't know what was up with him, but I obviously wasn't going to believe that his stuffed doll came to life and cut my hair off. I probably should have punished him more, but he seemed just as surprised as I did. I told him not to let it happen again. [on top of the ban, I also hid all the scissors, because I didn't want to Alice to wake up one morning with the same fate.]
Besides, he did a pretty good job. It came out to be a cute hairstyle, I'd say.

"Alice, I swear it wasn't me! Why would I cut mom's hair? I loved mom's hair!"
"Well, still, just stay away from me when I'm asleep, okay? I find it hard to believe that Rags could've done it."
"But it was Rags! I saw him!"
"Yeah right. Listen, Mom and I are getting a little worried about you. Just cut out the Rags stuff, alright?"
"But.... okay."


I swear, it was Rags that did it! I saw it with my own two eyes! But no one believes me...
