"But she telled me..."

Today I was just getting ready to get into the shower when I heard the backdoor open and the sound of kids getting ready to go out.  I quickly got some clothes on and came out to see what was going on.  (Of course we don't let kids outside without parent supervision...)

Mommy:  "Girls!  What are you doing?!  Get in here!"

Hannah:  "We are going to put our plants outside and give them some water."
Mommy:  "You can do that later.  I need to take a shower.  Stay in this house until I am ready to go out and you guys are dressed."

Hailey, in the most wimpering voice:  "But she telled me to put it outside in the sun."

We eventually made it outside and started the watering and waiting game.  

I sure hope something sprouts in a couple of days.  I would hate to have to listen to the girls blame me that my 40 minute delay was the reason nothing happened.
