Revenge is a dish best served shoved down next to the bed
Once upon a time Joseph and I were downstairs together. Joseph went into his room and I heard some thumping around. After a minute he yelled "Augh! Mommy! Help me!" I ran into his room and found him like this:
As Joseph explained it he was trying to reach something that had fallen off his bed and he slipped down and then was unable to get out. Now maybe I'm the meanest mom every but that made me laugh and then I took a picture. Then I posted it on facebook. Now here's the best part.
And twice I laughed and took a picture and posted it to facebook.
Fast forward to today when I pick Joseph up from school and he excitedly tells me that he has big news. It turns out that Joseph wrote a speech for his class's speech competition. He won the class round and went onto the 5th grade round. He won that round and will now be competing in the school round. He'll get to read his speech in front of the school and the parents of the children in the competition.
In case you're wondering about the title of Joseph's speech? "My Most Embarrassing Moment - The Time My Mom Posted a Picture of Me on facebook".
See? What goes around comes around.

That's awesome :) At least he's getting something out of the torture you inflict, right? ;) I'm guilty of the picture before rescue too, how else will they believe your stories when they grow up?
