The Best Movie Ever

We arrived home from school with just enough time for Logan to have a snack without spoiling his dinner.  Within minutes, I could hear the sound of the microwave and the smell of popcorn filled the air.  As soon as I had helped him find a bowl for his treat, he snatched it from the counter top and disappeared down the hall.

I turned my attention to the sizable pumpkin plants that he had been growing in a cup at school, which had now taken up residence on the kitchen drain board, and busied myself watering them before starting the laundry.  It wasn't long before Logan appeared at my side.

"This is the best movie I've ever seen," he said, excitedly, slamming his bowl of popcorn down beside me.  "But I've got to make it more interesting," and, just like that, he was gone again.

Having no idea what to make of this, I helped myself to the popcorn.  Almost at once, there was a tremendous ruckus from the next room accompanied by several rounds of hissing and spitting.  

"Logan, what movie are you watching?" I hollered. 

There was a peel of devious laughter. 

"Cat Versus Vacuum," he squealed.

Yes

Early Sunday morning text received while I was at work:

"Should I be nervous that Ethan just woke me up to show him how to use the hose on the vacuum?"

Um, yes!


I never heard back...
