Noah now:

A Noah story:

When Noah was about five years old, he started to share a room with his older brother, Josh. One night, after Josh had fallen asleep, Noah decided to get up, turn on the light and investigate Josh's candy making kit. He decided the cherry flavoring looked interesting, so he managed to get it open. He then proceeded to spill all of it on the carpet! Now panicking at the bright red mess he had made, he knew he had to try to clean it up. All he had were a couple of tissues, but he did the best he could. Then he turned the light back off and went back to bed. Imagine our shock at finding a big red stain on the carpet with little wads of red tissue pieces everywhere and a brother who slept through it all!!
