See, I KNOW I shouldn't be surprised when my kids are smart asses, since I'm one for the ages, but it always makes me laugh when they do it in a clever way. Then, and only then, do I beat them savagely.
Yesterday, Kim and I were heating up some dinner, and Kim put a Chinese-food-container full of corn in the microwave to heat it up. She left it in a little too long and the plastic top got all wobbly and rippled from the heat. So, Ellen comes in and sees it:
E: what happened here?
K: it wasn't my fault! the microwave did it!
E: (walking out) Suuuure...blame the inanimate object.
Happy 10th birthday, kiddo. May you never change.
