In the midst of applying makeup this morning my middle child sauntered into my bathroom and threw out a too-casual, "Hi." Knowing there was a little more behind this greeting I initiated conversation:
Me: "Hey there. What are you up to?"
Ellie: "Umm..."
Me: "Are you done your movie?"
Ellie: "Uh..."
Me: "What have you been doing?"
Ellie: "Well...I didn't broke nothing."
Since I didn't believe this for a moment we walked, hand in hand, downstairs to discover a very broken DVD remote. Busted!
Go ahead. Admire my powers of perception...they are rather spectacular.

I love the confession child. It makes life so much easier.
Is it horrible that I am constantly laughing at your expense??? Not really, but thank you for having REAL children that do naughty things, and for making me feel like a REAL mom by posting it! :) Your kids are adorable!
Yes. The ever dead give away of "I didn't broke nothing" or at my house it's "I'm not doing anything" is actually very insightful.
I am cracking up! I think there is just something about that middle child! She reminds me so much of Easton!! Way to use your super powers mommy!
