You Know You're in Trouble When... An Ernie and Maverick Tail of Woe

You know you are in trouble when your Mom is so mad she can't even take your picture. You know you made a huge gigantic horrible mistake when your Mom looks at you and your brother and doesn't even laugh. She doesn't crack a smile or even hide a small soft chuckle. You know you are in trouble when your Mom doesn't find your new game of Super Duper Doodle Trooper Muddy Wrestling Mania at all amusing. Instead you hear "ERNIE AND MAVERICK YOU BETTER GET YOUR MUDDY BUTTS UP TO THE HOUSE RIGHT THIS MINUTE OR ELSE!" But you can only kind of hear her muffled yelling because your ears are so full of mud and ripped up grass that you and your brother keep wrestling in and out of the creek and extra sloppy wet ground. Then all of a sudden you are being pulled up towards and then into the car, driven home, ran into the house, and then shoved into the shower. This is how We, Ernie McDoodle and Professor Maverick (new PhD in Mudology) learned that we got in BIG BIG BIG BIG trouble. There is a chance that we ripped up some of Mr. Yesteryear Acres yard (or a lot of the back yard) and we got really super stinky dirty. Not only were we in trouble, but Mom got into trouble for letting us destroy the backyard. We thought it was pretty cool to try and be undercover dirt doodle dwellers for the day, but Mom said, "Absolutely not" and that "We knew better"...Whatever that means. She never even did the "Oh my goodness that is so funny! Let me take a picture for the blog!" and that's ALWAYS how we get out of trouble!! It MIGHT have taken her 2 hours to scrub us both clean...
