The little Angel learns guerella warfare

So that little story about how Luke helped get Emily out of her "funk" was cute and all, but I am here to tell a little more of the story of that little angel. In the past when Luke didn't like the food on his plate he would do what almost all little boys do, namely, shove it to a corner of his plate, dump it on the table beside his plate, or simply throw it on the floor. However, such behavior at the Pilling house results in not only eating the undesired food that you displaced, but an additional helping of the same food of which you tried to dispose. So.. Here is a picture of that little angel at the dinner table angelically eating his dinner that Emily slaved so hard to make. All the other kids are saying, "good boy Lukie. way to eat all your food....praise praise be to the almighty Lukie, eater of all sorts of nasty tasting vegetables... blah blah blah...

Oh our cute little angel!!


However, upon closer examination it is apparent that what we have instead of a good meal eating angel, is an angel utilizing the wartime art of camouflage.

Wikipedia defines camouflage as follows:

Camouflage
is a method of cryptic or concealing coloration that allows an otherwise visible organism or object to remain indiscernible from the surrounding environment through deception. Examples include a tiger's stripes and the battledress of a modern soldier. Other examples include the careful placement of green beans on khaki colored kitchen table chair armrests creating the appearance of desert Army battle fatigues... hmmmm.





Angel?? You be the judge. Good thing I was in the military and can spot camouflaged objects at table's length. Stay one step ahead of the enemy I always say.
