Run for it

Danger Monkey, age 9: “I will never do chores again in a million years!” (giggling)

Me: “(laughing) Well, then I guess it’s time for a million spankings.”

Little Miss Thing, age 6: “Quick, run for your life!” (giggling)

LMT: “No, wait… run for your BUTT!”

Glad I Could Help

Danger Monkey, age 9: “Daddy, do you want to help us build a fort in the living room?”

Me: “Sorry, kiddos. You get a snow day, but I have to work all day just like a normal day.”

Little Miss Thing, age 6: “Woo-hoo! That makes it even better!”

Me: “You’re welcome. I think.”

Weaponless

Me: “Put down the foam sword and get in the car. We’re almost late for your skate party.”

Danger Monkey, age 9: (surprised stare) “But, why?”

Me: “No weapons allowed at a skating rink.”

DM: “Then I should probably take the dagger out of my pocket, too.”
