11 am. Ali: "Mom? I got to tell you something really bad that happened."
Mom: "Did it really happen, or did you imagine it happened?"
Ali: "It really happened. But it wasn't my idea."
(of course it wasn't... )
Mom: "Let's hear it."
Ali: "Well when you and Daddy were trying to sleep, Mia and me came out of our room."
Mom: "Okay. Was this at night time or in the morning?"
Ali: "It was in the morning when me and Mia got up and it was still dark so you told us to go in the playroom."
Mom: "Okay. What happened that was really bad?"
Ali: "We sneaked in the pantry and ate all the marshmallows."
Mom: "What?"
(I confirmed that indeed the marshmallows were gone and the bag neatly disposed of.)
Mom: "Thanks for your honesty. But sit in time out because it's not okay to sneak marshmallows or anything out of the pantry. You ask first. "
(Serves us right for neglecting our children for 20 more minutes of precious sleep.)
Mom: "Amelia, did you sneak marshmallow with Ali?"
Mia: (smiles) "Nummy treat!" (frowns) "No, no!"
