In my world...

They had messed up. Their behavior was inexcusable, and unacceptable. And as mommy, it was my duty to address it. Which I was doing a valiant job of. Full blown lecture. Not quite yelling, but certainly being heard. I had ranted for several minutes (all without taking a breath. Parents, you know the type of rant of which I speak). And then I made my fatal error...I asked the question "WHAT WORLD ARE YOU LIVING IN?????"

And almost immediately, in unison, two sweet little twin voices...."In our world, everyone is a pony. And eats rainbows, and poops butterflies".......

Lecture was over. I don't even remember now what they did wrong in the first place.
