Me, singing:
"O Come all ye hungry
Come and eat the tacos
Yummy breakfast tacos
that Mommy brought."
Secondborn enters the room and begins attempting to punch me in the kidneys.
Me, still singing:
"Come and devour them
full of eggs and bacon
O come let us consume them
O come let us consume them
O come let us consume them-"
Secondborn continues flailing. Firstborn enter the room.
Firstborn:
"Daddy-
Me:
"I promise to stop singing
I promise to stop singing
Firstborn:
"You're still singing."
Me, without missing a beat:
"I promise to stop singing,
If you all will eat."
Firstborn:
"What if we promise to eat as soon as you stop singing?"
Me:
"I would preemptively stop singing to see if you followed through on your side of the bargain."
Firstborn shrugs, sits, and eats. Secondborn adds one good kick to the shins for emphasis, then seats himself and begins eating as well.
Me, very quietly, and in a completely different room:
"Eat all your tacos
All your yummy tacos
Eat the yummy tacos
that Mommy brought."
Very funny!
