Living with kids

Me :( looking at a puddle on the floor.) Phebe what is this?

P: I peed my pants.

Me : Where does pee go?

P: In the toilet.

Me: Does this look like a toilet.

P: (giggling) No, it's a carpet! 

Me: Well if pee isn't supposed to be here what are you going to do about it?

P:Clean it up! And then Dad will be so surprised that I cleaned it up and there is no more mess! He will be excited!

I sure hope dad isn't terrible surprised or excited by a lack of pee on the carpet.

Caleb had a left over piece of chicken he was stabbing with a steak knife and then giving pieces to his siblings.  I called it Caleb's House of Dead Chicken. He thought it was a great name.

Eventually I found him walking around doing something else. 

Me: So is Caleb's house of Dead Chicken done?

Caleb :Yup, I closed it up for the night.
