I wish we had a chance to record this so you could have heard it rather than read about it. I’ll do my best to describe it . . .
In the morning, Ben and Andrew were hanging out in their bedroom. They were bored so decided to make a fort out of their blankets on the bunk bed. Proud of their efforts, Andrew came in to tell Mom and Dad about it. From a previous experience, Dad was a bit nervous about hearing this story since the last time an effort like this ended with almost everything on the floor and their room in a complete mess.
That in mind, Dad said . . . “You guys are going to have to pick all that up later!”
We then overheard Andrew go into the room and tell Ben . . . “Dad says . . .” now he just didn’t repeat what Dad said but actually put a spin on it and lowered his voice to do his best impersonation . . . “YOU BOYS HAVE TO PICK ALL THAT UP SOON!”
Dad looked over at Mom to see if she heard what he heard. She did . . . that was great way to start the day . . . a good laugh. Thanks Andrew!
