Plan: Use Potty Independently
Information: Sit on potty for lengthy period of time (regularly informing Mama that I'm not yet done). Hmmm... toilet paper! Explore cause-effect of pulling large portions of toilet paper off from roll next to toilet. Oops- too much. Explore available opportunities for disposing of evidence (Mama dislikes finding large amounts of TP rolled off). Possible options include the trash, the toilet, and hmmm, my mouth? Hmmm, chews well, minimal flavor...
Evaluation: Mama still thinks unrolling large portions of toilet paper off from roll is wasteful. Verbal chastisement received for amount in toilet paper in toilet bowl. Gob in mouth discovered and spit out per Mama's instructions. Further verbal chastisement received. May avoid this scenario in near future; distant future remains to be seen once selective editing occurs within memory bank. Bathroom breaks shortened with more frequent supervision by Mama.

The Chronicles of a Middle Child
Plan: Delay Nap
Information: Lay down in bed as instructed while Mama works on her Bible study in nearby rocker. Fidget, toss and turn restlessly, play with stuffed animal and blanket (a large blanket draped over my feet and head make a great tent). Instructed by mama to put feet down and not play with blanket any more. Notified that I will lose dolly and stuffed animal if I continue to play with them.
Evaluation: Disregarded Mama's instructions regarding blanket usage; lost blanket privileges.
Plan: Second attempt to delay (or get out of) nap; will utilize different tactics.
Information: Apply four fingers to back of throat to elicit gag reflex, followed by emesis of partially digested lunch onto pillow case.
Evaluation: Pillow removed, received verbal rebuke.
Plan: Attempt delay of nap again (getting out of it appears rather hopeless).
Information: Fuss over small spot of emesis that remains on sheet. Informed by Mama that if I'm going to gag myself and throw up on the pillow, I may have to deal with a small spot of yuckiness on the sheet, and that I should put my head down somewhere else.
Evaluation: Foiled again! Zzzzzzzz.....
