Owen's Lip

We had a funny Owen incident after I returned home from golf last night...

Owen is pushing his Pooh mobile around because, you know, he likes pushing it around versus actually riding it! Well anyway, he is going all over, going around the table, towards the dog and then he decides he is going to use the circle around the island as his race track. He is careening around the corner and he hits my left leg, rather hard I might add. I say to Owen in a very stern voice "Owen, no, do not hit people in the leg with your car!" He stands there, hands still on the back of the pooh car, perfectly still and his bottom lip jutting out about as far as it will go. 10 seconds go by, 20, 30... still standing, lip jutted out. His world has clearly taken a severe hit on this one.

Wendy starts to make the shhhh motion, while she is trying to not slice her hand off cutting some tomatoes, because we are both cracking up. I am laughing so hard and trying to perform this feat silently I feel like I am going to pass out. If you saw us both from the back all you would see is shoulders shaking like crazy because we cannot contain our laughter at Owen's expense.

At this point Owen decides he has done something very wrong and wants to make amends with his father. He waddles over taking very small steps, arms at his side and buries his head between my knees as his attempt for saying he is sorry. Of course at this point I pick him up and he gives me a big hug making sure that his world can continue in a normal fashion.
