That’s a big chore!
Scene: bedroom shortly after waking up on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
Mom: (joking) so for our anniversary on Friday do you know what your Dad got me?
Daughter: (only half interested) no, what?
Mom: A dumpster! (editorially, the dumpster rental and anniversary are not related)
Daughter: Why?
Mom: So we can clean out the basement and closets and everything for the holiday season before my family arrives.
Daughter: So will my brother and I still have to do trash?
Mom: Yes.
Daughter: (Serious) OK, but we won’t be able to carry that dumpster to the curb Mom.
We all make mistakes
Scene: at home just before dinner
Daughter: (fumbling in fridge) where is it?
Dad: What are you looking for?
Daughter: The pasta from last night!
Dad: That’s gone I ate it.
Daughter: (Waving a container) Wrong, here it is. You stand corrected!
I love six year olds.
