We are in the car on our way home from Home Depot. The kids (who are in the backseat with about 15 stuffed animals they insisted come along for the ride) start screaming at each other.
Mike: “Hey! Guys! What the heck?”
Ben: “Megan won’t let my giraffe guard the invisible TV!”
Me: “Huh?”
Mike: (in mock outrage) “Wait — WHAT? ARE…YOU…SERIOUS?! Megan, why can’t his giraffe guard the invisible TV?!”
Megan: “Well, just…because…”
Mike: “That is unacceptable. Megan, let the giraffe guard the TV.”
Megan: “Ok, Daddy.”
Me: “Meg, Daddy is kidding. He’s not really mad about this.”
Mike: “Oh no I am NOT kidding!”
Me: “Yes, you are.”
Mike: “Meredith, if we aren’t going to care about which stuffed animal guards the invisible TV, then who will?”
Me: “Yes…who indeed.”
“I’m sorry folks, but access to the invisible TV is absolutely prohibited, and before you ask, no I am not kidding.”
