3 things you don't want to hear or see before 8 am

1)  Ben: "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!  Don't let the ants get my Legos!"
     Mom (screaming from other side of the house):  "What ants?"
     Ben:  "All these millions of ants in the living room eating crackers on the floor!"
    
2)  Ben:  "Caroline, pull your underwear up as high as you can."
     Caroline:  "Like this?" 
     Ben:  "No, even higher like THIS."
     Caroline complies.
     Ben:  "Now, let's run around naked and show Mom and Dad."
          (no photos necessary for this one...just use your imagination....or not)

3)  Caroline:  "BEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!  Come here!"
     Mom: "Caroline, aren't you in the bathroom?"
     Caroline:  "Yes, Mom.  Come here Ben, I want to show you something!"
     (Ben runs gleefully into the bathroom)
     Caroline:  "Look at THIS Ben!  Doesn't it look like a troll lego boomer?"  
     Ben:  "Wow!  That's awesome.  Can we take it out and play with it?"
     (at this point I was sprinting down the hall, ready to intervene)
    Caroline:  "No Ben, we can't.  We have to flush it away." 
     (flushing sounds heard....thank God)

Soooooo......how's your day going so far?
