A Dialogue

It's summer.  I'm 36 weeks and 4 days pregnant.  It's summer.  The kids were being...kids.  Bless their annoying little hearts.

Me: Why don't you go outside and play?

Kembry: Because, we'll be alone.

Me: You do realize you're both human, and when you're together, you're not alone?

Cohen: When Kembry and me are together, we're still alone. (We're working on the grammar.)

A deep stare.  Silence.

Me: Um, did you check in the kitchen for that toy you were looking for?  (I.E. please leave me alone for a minute.)

Cohen: No. 

Me: How come?

Cohen: Because you're wrong. 

Silence.  Deep glare.  They're now in the kitchen helping daddy.  Bless him.
