Boys: "Um..."
Me: "In the bathtub!"
Boys: {nodding}
Me: "If something goes wrong, where will you look for Daddy?"
Boys: "Bathtub."
Me: "In the bathtub!"
Boys: {go back to playing Terraria}
Me: "If something horrible explodes out of my sinuses and attempts to devour the world, where is the breach point so you can perform the banishing ritual?"
Boys: "..."
Boys: "..."

In the bathtub!
These are the things my children put up with...

Now I'm wondering how long it took for your boys to forget where to find you when or if they needed you? (Haha.)
ReplyDeleteHopefully they remembered where to look.
My dad used to say, "see you next year!" to us kids when he went out to New Year's Eve parties with my mom. It shocked me the first time until I remembered that he was talking about the next morning.
Well, fortunately my sinuses didn't explode and release an all-consuming otherworldly monster, so they never actually had to perform the banishing ritual.
ReplyDeleteIs that the kind of thing that your sinuses are likely to do at some point? Have you considered consulting a medical expert?
DeleteYes. And yes. (I should get the results of the whatever-kind-of-scan-it-was back pretty soon, at which point the ENT can start making suggestions.)
ReplyDeleteAh... so you don't actually know that your sinuses are infested with hell-spawn larvae yet. Still, it never hurts to teach the young'uns to be properly prepared for any eventuality.
