Tidbits

Tonight Henry started to get fussy about the cup I chose for his milk, as he would prefer a different one. I informed him that all the others are dirty and washing as we speak, in the dishwasher. I told him that by law I am required to wash dishes, and that if I don't, a policeman will come talk to me, and (this part I acted out, but I'll put into words for you, the reader), shake his finger at me and say, "Mama, you have to wash those milk sippie cups, and if you don't, I'll give you a ticket!"
Henry, having now witnessed both parents pulled over within one week's time, responds to this.
He was very tired as he replied to me, "I'll tell that policeman to leave my Mama alone, and say knock it off, Squirt."
