KIDS SAY THE DARNEDEST THINGS (PART 956) — by Steve Nadis
Kids. You gotta love their enthusiasm, their joie de vivre. They speak their minds without holding back. No dissembling, no deceit. Take yesterday, for instance. I said goodbye to the “wee ones” and closed the door, leaving them in the hands of their capable babysitter. A minute later, I came back into the house because I’d forgotten my wallet. My older daughter looked up in surprise and asked in a challenging tone: “What are you doing here?”

Yah, What are YOU doing here?
When you say you’re leaving, you need to just go.

Now I’m getting it from all ends. But that’s excellent advice, Amber, & I’ll try to abide by it in the future.
You should have said, "I forgot to turn the Nanny Cam on."
Thanks for the reminder, Windfall, though some things are best left unsaid.
If I remember correctly from my parenting days, the correct response is: "I live here. What are YOU doing here?". That always stumped the little buggers.

I agree w/Z — bravo Old Roses. I’ll have to keep that in mind next time. And, trust me, there will be a next time.
