Quick Alex Quote

So, Dunc starts hollering from the playroom, but since it's after 3pm and he's doing away with his nap to the misery of all around him, I'm not overly concerned. Yes, he probably thinks he got hurt, but it's extremely unlikely that I need to go to him, and he'll make his way to me to tell me what i need to kiss. Sure enough, he comes wailing mildly into the kitchen, but Alex reaches me first, to tell me hastily, "I hurt him on the head by ACCIDENT, Mom. It was only by ACCIDENT."

"You hurt him, though?"

"Yes, by ACCIDENT."

"With what?"

"The floor."

Both Cory and I can't help but giggle, which I'm trying to hide from Dunc because it will only piss him off, so I attempt a straight face as I ask, purely for Cory's entertainment, "So what, you picked up the floor and hit him with it?"

Now Alex is laughing, but I'm not sure he gets why WE think this is funny. "No, I just tickled his neck and he fell backwards."

So kisses to the back of Dunc's head and off they go. I need to make sure I don't just leave the floor lying around where the kids can get a hold of it, though.
