The Kids' Concert

There was a huge gasp and Logan lifted his head out of the bath water.

"Dad!  We forgot the kids' concert that is tomorrow tonight!"

His face was fixed with a horrified expression.

"We did?  What concert is this?" I asked.

"The kids' concert that all of my friends will be there and me.  We're gonna sing!" he explained.

"What are you going to sing?" I asked.

"A-B-C-D-E-F-G."

Somehow I felt as though I could have seen that answer coming.

"That sounds nice but I still don't know what concert we're talking about," I said, shaking my head.

"The kids' concert!" he insisted, clearly hoping that my fit of stupidity would come to an abrupt end.

"I think you're pulling my leg." I told him as I laughed.

Apparently, this was not a funny matter.

"No I not," he said with an edge in his voice and a stern look on his face.  "I didn't touch your leg."
