Me: What?
Paige: If you were wearing a white T shirt with a brown stain on it and someone said you looked like a dehydrated toilet bowl with poop in it.
Me: Wow. Yeah, that would be pretty mean. Did someone say that to you?
Paige: No. I don't even have a white T shirt with a brown stain on it.
Isaac: Someone said that to me!
Paige: No they didn't.
Isaac: Yes they did!
Me: Really? When? Where? Who?
Isaac: At school. A kid in my class said that to me. For real life.
Paige: Stop lying, Isaac.
Isaac: I'M NOT LYING! SOMEONE CALLED ME A DEHYDRATED TOILET BOWL WITH A POOP STAIN ON IT FOR REAL LIFE!
Paige: I don't believe you. Prove it.
Me: I don't think that's possible, Paige. Let's just assume it happened.
Isaac: IT DID HAPPEN!
Paige: LIAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!
Commence full-bore physical assault, followed by only semi-effective maternal intervention. Just another rainy fall Sunday in Juneau, Alaska.
The siblings, in happier times.
Wow....thank you for this. It makes the fights my boys once had seem articulate and rhetorically sound!
