The Sandcastle

I have a confession. 
Josh didn't make this sandcastle.
He made me say he did. He thought it would be funny.
I'm sorry.
But I do have a story about it though!
The infamous sandcastle. 

During my alone day on the beach, I saw this family working on this sandcastle. I think they just had one son. But there was another family on the other side of me that had three children, I think. But they both had similar ideas of how to involve your children in sandcastle making. You don't. The family ( mom & dad) that made this sandcastle were serious about it. I saw them repeatedly get on to their son for not doing something right or messing something up. Finally he went on to play with the kids from the other OCD sandcastle building mom who kept telling her daughter " Scrape! Don't dig! I see you digging! Just go on and play somewhere else!". Seriously!? 
So that's the story with this sandcastle. It is pretty though. So you know what we did right? 
We let our daughter destroy it.
At least one kid got to have fun with it.
