Taking a walk thru the neighborhood with Smoller Bean (3yo), on our way to the local farmstand but who the heck knows when or even if we’ll ever get there, but that’s fine, it’s not like we have anything else to do today 😆

Smoller Bean: *encounters the BIGGEST PILE OF FALLEN LEAVES EVER SEEN*

Smoller Bean: *dives in like an Olympic-class athlete*

Smoller Bean: I’m gonna put the leaves back ON the tree!

Me: *tries and fails to explain that the tree will grow new leaves in the spring*

Smoller Bean: *tries to stick leaves to the tree trunk*

Smoller Bean: *fails*

Smoller Bean: All done, let’s go

Me: 🤣🤣🤣 okay bud
