She told me

Today, during the kids' nap, I ironed some curtains on our dining room table. Turns out that a towel doesn't provide sufficient insulation for a hot iron -- oops! It left big white marks on the table. When Ellie saw them, I got a serious talkin' to...

Ellie: Who did this?
Me: I did -- it was an accident.
Ellie: Mommy, never, ever, EVER do this again!
Me: Okay...
Ellie: And clean it up while I'm sleeping!

Well, that's certainly a way to get a new table. Ellie, she is absolutely one of a kind. Gotta love her!

Hillary is on the mark - those first-born girls CAN be a touch bossy... uh... I mean, a touch forceful. Not that we all know another one in the room. :-)
