he's a juice box hero, got straws in his eyes
When I get home from doing the Costco run, I usually unload everything in a heap in the living room just inside the front door and then I deal with it after dinner.
Dinner was in the oven, Little Bear and Grumpy were playing video games and I was sitting at the kitchen table filling out the passport paperwork. Hoho, I thought, was in with the guys playing video games. Turns out, he wasn't.
I walked around the corner to ask Grumpy a question and I found Hoho pulled up to the train table sitting on the big pack of toilet paper. He had opened the flat of juice boxes. He had a neat stack of straw wrappers, and had already put straws into about half of the juice boxes.
When I exclaimed "HOHO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!???", he looked up with the biggest, proudest grin on his face and the instant he saw the angry look on my face he started to cry his little eyes out. I was only angry for that briefest of moments and then when Grumpy came running to see what had happened, we looked at each other and busted out laughing. Grumpy ran to get the camera while I hugged Hoho and told him he did a very good job opening the juice boxes but that we only should open one when we are going to drink one. I then spent a half an hour "milking" the juice boxes into a pitcher.

Awww... bless his little cotton socks. No wonder he first looked so pleased as punch. Inserting so many straws into tetra-packs without ending up with the contents all over yourself is no mean feat! I can't even do it with one carton, never mind ten of them!
