Willy

The older kids are playing in the basement, and I went upstairs a few minutes ago to put baby E down for a nap. I came back downstairs and was cleaning up the kitchen when I heard crying. I went to the bottom of the steps to listen but didn't hear anything. It happened again a few minutes later, and still, I didn't hear E crying.

Finally, I went into the basement, where the kids were playing happily, and said, "Was someone crying down here?"

"Oh," said K, looking a little guilty. "Do you mean this noise?" He then proceeded to make a sad, pitiful whining noise.

"Yeah, that one." I said. "What are you doing?"

"I'm pretending to be Willy when he was captured!" was his reply. (If you haven't seen Free Willy, click on the link)

Sometimes, my children are so strange it makes me giggle.
