while running a bath for the little ones...
Me: Come on Wyatt! Time for a bath!
from the other room...
W: In a minute!
Me: Elijah's getting in! Your water's going to get cold!
W: ...
minutes later he comes running full tilt into the bathroom
Me: Quick! Undress and get in!
whispering
W: The cookies are all gone.
Me: Really?
still whispering
W: Yep. I ate them. I was being sneaky.
Me: It's not nice to be sneaky. You should ask permission.
W: I wasn't being sneaky. I was... doin' a secret.
Me: ... (stifling a laugh and wondering when my three year old mastered semantics)
looking puzzled like he's not sure if he's in trouble or not
W: Mama?
Me: What Wyatt?
W: You needa buy more cookies.
Elijah: TOOKIES!
