Last night Ruth watched Mac while we went to the Christmas party. When we got home, she said that he was very cold and so she made him a hot water bottle. Now Mac has a true talent for bamboozling Ruth to get more Coca Cola, to stay up later, to avoid a shower, etc. I was sure this "too cold to sleep" was yet another ruse to stay up later than bedtime.
But we don't own a hot water bottle, so I was very confused as to what she meant when she said she "made" him a hot water bottle.
Before I went to bed, I checked around his bed as best I could without waking him up to see if there was some hot water device that needed to be removed. I felt nothing so I went to bed.
This morning when I woke Mac up for school, he had a 2-liter Sprite bottle filled up with what used to be hot water stuck up under his armpit.
Ruth had literally made a hot water bottle.
Which Mac thinks is the most brilliant invention ever.
For sweet Ruth who's so clever, I am truly thankful.
