Always go with your gut!

This is something that I have learned since becoming a mom almost 9 years ago. I am a big believer of following your instincts and going with your gut. As a mom I do this all the time, and it has taught me several things, made me laugh, saved my kids etc.
Last night it happened again . . . . take a read!
Here let me set the scene. . .
I walk upstairs because the kids are supposed to be getting into bed so that they can read for 1/2 an hour before bed. Caroline and Dustin are in the hallway and Dustin is crying and grabbing at Caroline. They are both in their PJ's and Dustin is holding a small board book and Caroline is holding a stuffed bear.
Megan: Hey you two! What's going on?
Caroline: Dustin is mad at me because he thinks that I have a blue book.
Megan: Dustin, you already have a book, now stop grabbing at Caroline. (All of a sudden I feel as though I need to take another look at this scene.)
After another quick look at the two of them I remember that Dustin is actually quite smart and that Caroline is sure squeezing that bear tightly.
Megan: Caroline, DO you have Dustin's book?
Caroline: No! I don't know what he is talking about
Megan: What are you hiding under your bear???
Caroline (eyes really wide and looking totally guilty): Well, its Dustin's book, but I really wanted to read it.

LOL! That kid is hilarious! She totally tried to make Dustin look like the villan when she was the one who was teasing him. See. . . you never know what you'll discover if you just follow your gut!
