Nighttime Moment

Checking in on boys as they are doing their nightly ritual of talking/whispering and laughing in their beds. (as yes, yet again, another day has passed and it's off to dreamland)

Tonight I walked in there and asked what they were doing.

"We're just talking about this dumb girl at Lucas's school."
'Oh y'are?'
"What are YOU guys doing?"
'Well, I'm on the computer, Daddy fell asleep in the rocking chair, and Cedar is reading a book.'
Lucas: "SHE IS?! CEDAR IS READING A BOOK?!"
'No-ah.' (me smiling)
Lucas laughter: ...(with hint of "oh silly me, why'd I believe my mom")
'No. She's coloring.'
Lucas: "SHE IS??!!! SHE'S COLORING??!!"
Laughing mom: 'No. hahahahaha.'
Lucas laughter, again:...(with same hint of "oh silly me, why'd I believe my mom")

....and I'm off to come up with more funny/lying mommytime schemes.

p.s.Have you ever watched the show Reba. It's pretty darn good. (re-runs nonetheless, but good)
