And Why Is It.....

That I can never say no?

"Katie, can I borrow your phone?"
"Why?"
"So, I can use the flashlight."
"Will I get it back as soon as your done, as in within the hour?"
"Sure! No problem! Thanks!"

And now, I can't seem to find my phone. :-S

"Katie, can I borrow your watch?"
"Why?"
"To time myself while I do my chores."
"Will I get it back today?"
"Of course!!"

And then I might see it that day, but then it all depends on if they hand it back to me or set it at toddler eye level on my desk!

"Katie, can I borrow your hairbrush?"
"Sure, if you stay in my room with it."

And when I go to use it? It's AWOL. :-S

"Katie, can I borrow your..."
"NO!!"
"But, I can't find my shoes and I need them to milk!"
"Oh, sure go ahead."

Most often though, these get back into my room.....Caked in mud or soaking wet.

I've even had a sister ask to borrow my glasses! The hard thing is when I let them 'borrow' are my books though. Oh, well. I guess that this is all part of living in a family. :D
