My youngest captured our playcul frippery and texted to me what we said:
Me: “What is stuck on this power strip that’s making it all weirdly sparkly?”
Mom: “The blood of children?”
Me: “??????”
Mom: “I was going to say ‘blood of elves’ but I didn’t wanna piss the elves off.”
Me: “As opposed to the children??”
Mom: “Well, they’re not around anymore!”
(I am still laughing, and my youngest comments my laugh is like I know this is f-ed up, but it’s the funniest thing ever that I said it. We have a lot of fun being silly and saying things to catch each other off guard.)
