Be Careful What You Ask
Alpha: Look! It’s my mini-blinder!
Me: What’s a mini-blinder?
(Alpha shines a bright LED flashlight into my eyes.)
Me: Ow!
It Was Plastic
The Scene: One of the children came crying to me. I must say something to the other child.
Me: Don’t hit your brother with an axe!
Me, imagining loopholes: In fact, don’t hit your brother with anything.
It was a toy axe, but I still decided it was best to confiscate it.
Doesn’t Really Want an Answer
Beta, taking a bath: Can I sleep in the bathtub?
Me: No.
Beta, leaning back so the water covers his ears: WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU.
But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears from hearing.

That’s why I write these things down. They think of things that I wouldn’t have thought to do.
