Because we like to jump

I'm sitting here at the computer, doing my usual morning email and facebook checks, when I hear bang, bang, bang. I know that sound. The girls are jumping on the bed. I yell out for them to stop jumping on my bed. They yell back, "But mom, it's not your bed." Okay, technicalities, it's the guest bed, but it is still my bed! I tell them to not jump any more...Silence.



A little bit later, the girls are out here in the living room playing with the blocks...all is good! All of a sudden, I hear them bang, bang, banging again. I yell out again, stop jumping...silence.



Again, they come out and play in the living room...for a little while...then....they are at it again. I call to them to come to me. They quickly run to me, that's right, run to me...they know what happens if they don't respond quickly. I tell them to sit against the wall that's next to me. (While covering up a smile) I ask the girls if it is okay to jump on my bed. They say, "No" and I ask, "then why are you doing it?" "BECAUSE WE LIKE TO JUMP!" I laughed at this and they started giggling to.



What's a girl to do? (Funny thing is...they haven't started jumping on the bed since....maybe they do listen every now and then.)
